Bordeaux 2005 En Primeur

"I tasted all the vats at Lafleur and Margaux as early as November and it was clear that the wines had not one false note. Vineyard owners normally have some anxiety during the growing cycle but in 2005, nature was extremely benevolent and the results are exceptional. One word of warning, the top wines will be more expensive than ever." John Armit

"After the first six months in the cellar, Lafleur 2005 reveals the rare dimension, complexity and «serenity» that one only finds in the very greatest vintages. The notion of terroir has prevailed this year."
Jacques Guinaudeau, Château Lafleur
