The 2022 Pensées de Lafleur is a head-turning, sensual wine, bursting with aromas of minty cherries and berries mingled with orange zest, black truffle and rose petal. Full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep, suave and seamless, with an enveloping core of fruit and tannins so polished that they caress the palate. This cuvée, derived from vines growing in the part of Lafleur's vineyard through which a water course once flowed and where the soils are richer in clay and better hydrated, still lives in the shadow of its grander sibling, but it's a must-purchase for me every year.

The 2022 Les Pensées is aged in 25% new oak for 15 months, as usual, coming from the 0.7-hectare spur of sandy-gravel soils in the Lafleur vineyard. This is shy at first and demands coaxing. It opens with brambly red fruit, crushed rock, wilted rose petals, scents of tobacco percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with layers of liquorice-tinged black fruit mixed with cracked black pepper, lightly spiced with impressive structure yet weightlessness on the tensile finish. The mineralité really comes through on this Les Pensées this year. Bon vin.
