TASTING CHATEAU LAFLEUR 2018 WITH THE WINEMAKER

The 2018 vintage produced some great wines in Bordeaux and one of the perfect wines of the vintage was  the Château Lafleur Pomerol 2018, which James tasted over Zoom earlier this year with Omri Ram, winemaker and viticulturist at Chateau Lafleur.James described the tannins as extremely fine, like silk. "It has a refined tannin structure and finesse that draws you deep and down in the palate," he said. Ram agreed, emphasizing how Lafleur wines are all about "tannin texture and memory".The winery, located  Pomerol, is unclassified, but is one of the great producers of the region. It is a legend.
