“The 2022 Château La Fleur Morange showed beautifully and is well worth seeking out.” – Jeb Dunnuck

It’s your lucky day, Jeb, and all fans of our greatest Right Bank garagiste discovery ever, LFM is BACK with a brand new vintage, and it truly is their BEST EVER!

Another Wine Spies Exclusive. You won’t find it elsewhere. It simply DOES NOT EXIST in the US of A.

If you spent the $200 retail, it would sting, no matter how expansive your wine budget. But at $70, this deal is just about a buy one get TWO free!

Now, we could argue it’s worth $200. Next to a Cheval Blanc, an Ausone, or a Pavie it’s even a great value. That’s not hyperbole. Jancis Robinson raves that “tasting it blind in a line-up of 2005 red Bordeaux for Decanter magazine, the owner of fine wine traders Farr Vintners and I took it for Château Ausone and Pavie respectively…

Indeed, the initial pop and pour revealed something truly profound… a perfumed and aromatic beauty that boggles the mind when compared to a traditional Bordeaux. The wine exhibits the freshest as well as candied red and black fruits. There are minerals, earth, and a leather component as well, the kind you find in fancy cars equally exotic as this wine. Feel free to decant and let it breathe long, for blissful slow sipping over an entire evening.

Robert Parker explains the quality as “The well-known Claude Gros is the consulting oenologist at this small garagiste operation in St.-Émilion. The average age of the vines is … get this … 100 years!” while Gros was brought in late in 2002 and has overseen a steady rise in both quality and, alas, prices of La Fleur Morange since then.”

Once this is gone, it’s GONE.

96 Points – Jeb Dunnuck “One of the finest wines from this Château in recent years, the 2022 Château La Fleur Morange is a fabulous blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc brought up all in barrel. It offers cassis, spice, tobacco, and cedar pencil, all wrapped in a full-bodied, pure, and seamless profile. Ultra-fine tannins, rock-solid concentration, and impeccable balance should keep this drinking beautifully over the coming two decades. Drink 2027-2043.”
