Château Lafleur-Gazin Pomerol 2020 Review
This vineyard in Bordeaux's esteemed Pomerol region has been producing Merlot fruit since 1976. This bottle shows just how expressive and elegant a wine from this variety can be — and is worth every penny. It has a soft and earthy nose of soil, oak, and some balsamic. The palate is elegant with a plush mouthfeel that's slightly contrasted by a welcome hint of bitterness on the finish.
