Winemaker:Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix
The vines of Lafleur-Gazin lie on the edge of the clay-rich, central plateau of Pomerol, between two famous neighbours: Ch Gazin and Ch Lafleur. The vineyards have been managed by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1973, on behalf of the owners. Merlot grapes make up 100% of the wine in 2021, which shows ruby-purple colour of medium depth. Nose is open, ripe and fresh, palate is densely fruity, clinging to the mouth attractively, without bitterness, finishing intensely, with lovely length (for drinking 2024 -2034+).

Winemaker
Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix
The family firm of Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix own many of the finest châteaux on Pomerol’s central plateau as well as Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Bélair-Monange in Saint-Émilion. In addition, they manage the vineyards of several other Right Bank châteaux, helping them to produce wines of outstanding harmony, beauty and elegance. Christian Moueix has been the guiding light of the family’s progress since his first vintage in 1971. His son Edouard is now taking over, aided by a brilliant team in vineyard and cellar. Our history with the Moueix family goes back to 1970, when Nick Clark and Anthony Hanson MW first started our business with them. We have been shipping from them uninterruptedly since then.
Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix belongs to classical school of wine making. Their aim is to produce wines which are fully ripe, yet lively, with all elements subtly integrated and with great length of flavour. These wines have the ability to gain smoothness, complexity and silkiness as they mature.
