Château Lafleur

Producer description of "Château Lafleur"

The vineyard is located in the municipality of Mouillac in the Pomerol region (Bordeaux). It was created in the 19th century through the division of a larger estate, the other part being the directly neighbouring Château Le Gay. Both were owned by the Robin family, most recently the sisters Thérèse and Marie Robin. After the death of Marie Robin in 2001, Château Lafleur came into the possession of her nephew Jacques Guinaudeau and his wife Sylvie. The vineyards cover five hectares and are planted with Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Franc (50%). The old vines were largely spared in the devastating frost of 1956. The extremely long-lived wine is matured for 18 months in barriques, 50% of which are new.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
