Château Lafleur 2012

THE PROPERTY

It was the great-great-grandfather, Henri Greloud, who purchased, in 1872, the small estate of 4.5 hectares of contiguous vineyards located in the Lafleur area on the Pomerol plateau. He renovated the vineyard, built the house and cellars, and gave this new Cru the historical name of the plot: Château Lafleur. With his ingenious and visionary idea, Henri probably envisioned the wines that would come to life here. In this “garden vineyard” of an almost perfect square, truly great vintages like 1947 and 1982 were born. In 1985, Sylvie and Jacques took over the reins of this legendary Cru. In 2002, they became the owners of Château Lafleur by purchasing it with their three children, Baptiste, Clara, and Noémie.

The vineyard stands out for its grape varieties, with an equal proportion of Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) and Merlot, which greatly contributes to the style of Château Lafleur. Baptiste and Julie joined Sylvie and Jacques in the early 2000s, sharing the family’s passion for every detail. Over the years, the team has become younger and more diverse. Today, around twenty people bring their enthusiasm to the service of the Crus of the Société Civile du Château Lafleur. As vignerons, they are present in the vineyards and cellars throughout the year, seeking to understand and best accompany nature and climate. Château Lafleur is a rare wine that uniquely combines power, length, and finesse.
