The tasting
Tasted en primeur, the Château La Fleur 2019 is a wine that offers a beautiful purple colour with purple reflections. Notes of blackcurrant, redcurrants and small black fruits spring forth from the glass and immediately charm the nose. On the palate, the attack is fruity, evolving into a balanced and elegant mid-palate. The tannins are precise and well-integrated, giving the Château La Fleur 2019 a juicy structure. A delicious Saint-Emilion that can be enjoyed in its youth for the more impatient wine lover, or kept for several years to evolve in the bottle.
