videoChateau Lafleur 2013 Trophy Wine Review
Description Written by ChatGPT Few estates in Bordeaux command the reverence reserved for Château Lafleur. Founded in 1872, this tiny 4.5-hectare vineyard in Pomerol has long been one of the region's rarest and most distinctive wines, producing only around 1,000 to 1,200 cases of its Grand Vin each year. Its remarkable vineyard, planted equally to Merlot and Cabernet Franc, sits on a single uninterrupted parcel of sandy clay and gravel, a unique terroir that consistently delivers wines of exceptional finesse, silky texture, and striking mineral precision. The history of Lafleur is one of quiet dedication rather than commercial ambition. Henri Greloud, owner of Château Le Gay, first acquired the vineyard that would become Château Lafleur. After passing through the Robin family, André Robin embraced the philosophy that continues to define the estate: Qualité passe quantité—quality surpasses quantity. His daughters, Marie and Thérèse Robin, managed Lafleur from 1946 for nearly four deca

Good News!
A quick break in the scheduled postings - trust me, I carried on my bitter and pub adventures in the UK after flying to and from Inverness - but this is good news that needs sharing. On Wednesday an email was sent out that I have actually been expecting for a few weeks now, but I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag. Simply put, Murphy & Rude are not going out of business. But first, a tale of how I learnt that news. When it became public that Jeff and co were going to be closing down, I said to Mrs V that I needed to make a big order of malt to see me through the rest of my brewing year. To that end I bought a 50lb/22.7kg of Virginia Pils, and one of English Pale - they are, after all the base of pretty much all of my beers. Also as part of that order I got 25lb/11.4kg bags of Vienna and Biscuit malts; 10lb/4.5kg bags of white wheat and brown malts; and 5lb/2.3kg bags of Munich 9, Munich 15, and Americano (basically pale chocolate) malts; oh and a packet of Greenmont Mother h
