Château La Fleur-Petrus is a magnificent Pomerol, developing unctuous succulence, with melted, caressing tannins, alluring spiciness and a herbal, savoury finish as it matures. This renowned estate was named in the 18th century for its situation between Petrus and Lafleur, and was bought in 1950 by Jean-Pierre Moueix, who perceived its excellent potential. Composed of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small percentage of Petit Verdot, which contribute generosity, structure and spice respectively. The vineyard comprises a mix of gravel, clay and sandy soils, which also leave their stamp on the wine's unique personality.

Press Review
97/100 - Still youthfully ruby/plum-hued with very little in the way of bricking, the 2005 Château La Fleur-Petrus has a gorgeous perfume of red and black fruits that give way to more spicy, floral, leather, and mineral nuances with time in the glass. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, and expansive on the palate, it has still-present, velvety tannins, a layered, mouthcoating texture, and a brilliant finish. Straight-up delicious, this ripe, sexy, oh, so satisfying Pomerol can be drunk any time over the coming 15-20 years with incredible pleasure. Drink 2024-2044.

95/100 - Served at a mini-vertical at the chateau, the 2005 La Fleur-Petrus has a glorious bouquet with intense red and black fruit, black truffle, dried petals, a touch of cured meat – like popping into a Tuscan delicatessen with the floor sprinkled in sawdust. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and very good weight. It is almost understated on the entry, with a fine thread of acidity. There are notes of spicebox, white pepper and ever a faint hint of red pepper towards the finish that is long and graceful – the kind of wine you really desire to linger in the mouth and choose not to outstay its welcome. Drink 2016-2030.
