La Fleur Saint Emilion 2019 (750ML)

93-94 JS / 90-92 VM / 91 DE / 89-91 WA

Layers of ripe-fruit and walnut character with hints of chocolate. Full body. Rich finish. Serious depth of fruit and structure.- James Suckling

The 2019 La Fleur has a tightly controlled, quite intense bouquet with black cherries, blue berry and cassis notes, with aeration more floral aromas develop. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is well balanced with fine grain tannins and crisp acidity. Quite tight and showing a touch of bitter cherry on the finish, but I admire the saline aftertaste. Very fine.- Neal Martin, Vinous Media

 Plenty of punch but this is an elegant wine overall, with carefully controlled blackberry and cassis fruit notes, and one that should be ready to drink within five years. Fine tannins, overall a real success for medium term drinking. 75% new oak at this 27ha estate owned by the Dassault family.- Jane Anson, Decanter

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 La Fleur sports intense notions of black raspberries, black cherry preserves and wild blueberries with hints of charcoal, tilled loam, moss-covered tree back and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a great intensity of bright, pure black fruits with a fine-grained texture and just enough freshness, finishing with lovely energy.- Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
