About this wine
La Fleur-Pétrus is mostly Merlot with a little Cabernet Franc, from gravel soils on the Pomerol plateau. It is a refined, aromatic Pomerol with red and dark fruit, silky tannins and a fresh, mineral finish. Attractive within a few years, it ages well for twenty years or more in good vintages.
About La Fleur-Petrus
Château La Fleur-Pétrus lies on the plateau of Pomerol, close to Petrus and Lafleur. It was bought in 1950 by Jean-Pierre Moueix and is still owned by the Moueix family, whose firm also manages several other leading Pomerol estates.
Its vineyards are on gravel more than the clay found at Petrus, giving a wine of finesse and perfume rather than sheer weight. The estate has been enlarged with well-placed parcels, and its consistency and elegant style have made it a regular choice for Pomerol collectors.
