Château La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the most renowned vineyards of Pomerol. The wine combines a unique elegance with the generosity and structure typical of the great vineyards of Pomerol. An attentive tasting reveals remarkable refinement, complexity, and a touch of violet. This historic estate, situated exclusively on the plateau, was named in the 18th century for its position between Petrus and Lafleur. Jean-Pierre Moueix perceived early on the excellent quality of the Pomerol appellation, and Château La Fleur-Pétrus was his very first acquisition in 1950, followed soon after by Trotanoy in 1953. The personality of the estate's wine lies in the careful association of the famous gravel and clay terroirs of the plateau of Pomerol. The vineyard, located at 33 to 38 metres above sea level, draws its identity from the nuances of soil and elevation of each parcel. Those parcels which are dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense, and structured. Château La Fleur-Pétrus is composed predominantly of Merlot, which lends silkiness and generosity to the wine. Cabernet Franc, planted on gravel and fine clay, contributes rigor and complexity, while a small percentage of Petit Verdot, planted on fine gravel, offers a hint of spice to the finish.
