    A gorgeous second wine, the 2016 Pensées de Lafleur will give readers a very good idea of what the vintage is all about at Lafleur. Layered and pliant, with lovely aromatic brightness that plays off the fruit, the 2016 is incredibly delicious today. In 2016, the Pensées is a wine of pure and total pleasure.

    The second cru, rather than the second wine of Lafleur, as it comes from a different part of the vineyard, this has the classic combination of balance, perfume, elegance and understated concentration. Silky and refined, this is Burgundy lover’s Pomerol. 2022-30

Region

Pomerol

The small sub-region of Pomerol is situated north-east of the industrious city of Libourne. Pomerol's soils are predominately iron-rich clay with a smattering of gravel that produce wines with extraordinary power and depth. As a result of this clay-dominance, it has the highest percentage of Merlot planted in all of Bordeaux. Certain châteaux are produced exclusively from this grape, but most incorporate smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as well. Despite its hefty (if not exclusive) proportion of Merlot, many people think of wines from this region as separate entities. As one wine aficionado stated recently, "It's not Merlot. It's Pomerol." Despite the region's small size, Pomerol contains some of the world's most sought after (and expensive) wines including Pétrus, Le Pin, Lafleur, l'Evangile and Vieux Château Certan. Unlike other Bordelais subregions, there is no system of classification. The châteaux are traded on reputation alone.
