La Fleur-Petrus
Situated between Châteaux Lafleur and Petrus Château La Fleur-Pétrus took its name in the 18th century. Jean-Pierre Moueix who established his wine merchant business in Libourne in 1937 purchased La Fleur-Pétrus in 1950. This historic estate on the plateau of Pomerol was his first vineyard acquisition. La Fleur-Pétrus is composed predominantly of Merlot which lends silkiness and generosity to the wine while a small percentage of Cabernet Franc contributes rigor and complexity.
Description
Beautiful ruby red color, very bright. Reticent aromas of dark berries, spices, licorice and menthol, wrapped in a sea of red fruits. A flexible, mature, with a fullness in his unexpected and kind in the mouth. This is harmony from the beginning, as there is a very powerful wine, but silky and smooth. Very sweet in the aftertaste with tannins and late arrival. This is one of the best wines of La Fleur Petrus made since the late forties.
