Poetry in Pomerol

Coming off the huge response to Wednesday’s Bordeaux offer, I figured a little more Bordeaux wouldn’t hurt—especially when it’s this collectible and perfectly rated. And what if we throw in a “head-turning” second wine from the same legendary estate? Let’s just say I’m thrilled about today’s release.

To this day, I’ve never tasted a more glorious young wine than the 2000 Lafleur. I had it shortly after release and savored about two-thirds of a bottle over several days—an experience I never wanted to end. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to taste many Lafleur vintages (most at their optimal drinking windows), and I remain a firm believer that this is one of Bordeaux’s greatest wines.

The 2022 looks to be another must-have vintage from this extraordinary estate, earning a perfect score from The Wine Advocate, which closed its review with a line we couldn’t ignore: “delivering a Lafleur for the ages.” For those familiar with Lafleur’s heights, you know this is going to be something special. And if the price of the Grand Vin gives you pause, don’t overlook Pensées de Lafleur—a remarkable second wine at a fraction of the price.
