2005 Chateau La Fleur Morange St. Emilion
2005 Chateau La Fleur Morange St. Emilion
Chateau La Fleur Morange is a family property managed by two passionate winemakers with a desire to combine traditional expertise and modern technology. The average age of vineyard is 100 years old and the soil for the vines is a complex mixture known only in Saint Emilion, which contributes to the finesse of the tannins.
As with many 2005 St Emilions, this gem of the right bank just gets better and better with age. Critics have underestimated the potential ten years ago. It's at or near its pinnacle; drink now. -TO

This wine has turned out beautifully from bottle, far superior to the impressive barrel samples! Sadly, production is limited to a mere 350 cases. Dense purple to the rim, with a superb bouquet of acacia flowers, blueberries, black currants, and crushed rocks, the wine’s oak component is completely obscured by the wealth of fruit and overall rich, concentrated style. As I have indicated in the past, this blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc emerges from a vineyard averaging 100 years of age. Yields are a tiny 21 hectoliters per hectare. This exquisite St.-Emilion should be accessible in 5-7 years, and last for 25 or more. Kudos to the brilliant oenologist, Claude Gros, who produced this masterpiece.
