Château Lafleur是波爾多Pomerol產區的一家小型酒莊，葡萄園僅有4.5公頃。本酒莊就位於Pétrus隔壁，而且也生產品質不遜色的頂尖好酒。Lafleur的葡萄園位於Pomerol村多礫石的台地上，園中土壤很深而且富含鉀、鐵質，僅使用天然肥料。即使以產量偏低的Pomerol產區標準來看，其產量仍可說是很誇張的低--每公頃年產量不到3000公升！
Lafleur種植的葡萄品種是Merlot 50% 和Cabernet Franc 50%；發酵完的酒通常是在橡木桶（約50 %新桶）中陳年培養18個月左右。Lafleur的酒常常散發出驚人濃郁的香氣，這部分歸功於其高比例Cabernet Franc；同時口感豐盈香味多層次，常帶有成熟黑色漿果、甘草、菸草和礦物質的典型香味；它比較不像Pétrus的濃郁甜美，但是其特別的香味亦相當迷人。其極小的產量、高超的品質和卓越的聲譽使它的價格高居不下，名列Pomerol的前三大高價酒之一！在陳新民教授的著作「稀世珍釀-世界百大葡萄酒」書中有專文介紹。
This wine was incredibly tannic and backward from cask, but out of bottle it has shrugged off the excess tannin and seems to be developing far better than I thought it would. The color is dense/ruby purple, and the wine shows notes of sweet kirsch and blackberry liqueur, with a liquid minerality and a hint of violets. The wine is full-bodied, quite tannic, very dense and backward, but gorgeously concentrated, pure, and intense. This looks to be a classic Lafleur meant for significant long-term aging.
