Tasting notes
The 2021 Château LaFleur-Gazin should be outstanding, offering a medium-bodied, charming, mid-weight style as well as pretty aromatics. Notes of cassis and black raspberries, subtle oak, and some spice all define this forward, enjoyable, balanced 2021 that will drink nicely right out of the gate.

The 2021 Lafleur-Gazin was picked 27 to 29 September. This has quite a high-toned bouquet with kirsch and raspberry fruit, quite fresh, leaning towards the more opulent side of things. The palate is floral on the nose and nicely focused. There is a kirsch element that filters through with a generous cherry-tinged finish. This will be difficult to resist in its youth.
The 2021 Lafleur-Gazin opens with a very pretty bouquet laced with the essence of crushed flowers, spice, sweet red cherry and blood orange. There's good persistence, but the tannins are a bit nervous today. It will be interesting to see what élevage brings here.
