Pensees de Lafleur 2015 is a red wine from the Pomerol appellation, crafted by the Guinaudeau family, renowned for their commitment to traditional winemaking. Sourced from a distinctive U shaped plot within the Château Lafleur estate, this wine benefits from a higher clay content in the soil, which influences its character. The 2015 vintage, acclaimed for its ideal growing conditions, features a blend primarily of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, achieving an alcohol content of 14%. Aged in French oak barrels, it reveals aromas of black cherries, subtle florals, and graphite, showcasing a more accessible profile than its grand vin counterpart. The finish is defined by refreshing minerality and fine tannins, exemplifying the precision of Pomerol’s terroir.
