Exceptional example of Château Lafleur 1997, one of the most outstanding vintages in the modern history of this iconic Pomerol estate. Château Lafleur is synonymous with intensity, finesse, balance and an extraordinary capacity to evolve in bottle. Its extremely limited production and cult status among collectors make each vintage an object of reference for the high-end wine market.
The 1997 vintage in Bordeaux, and particularly in Pomerol, was characterized by climatic conditions that favored slow ripening and very pure fruit. In Lafleur this expression translates into a wine of solid structure, fine tannins, deep aromatic complexity and a vibrant evolutionary profile after more than two decades in bottle. The scores awarded by international critics, with ranges spanning the highest ratings of the major contemporary systems, confirm the excellence of this vintage for the estate.
