Chateau La Fleur-Petrus was Jean-Pierre Moueix’s very first estate acquisition in 1950 (13 years after establishing his merchant business in Libourne). With just shy of 9ha sandwiched between Chateaux Lafleur and Petrus on the prized Plateau de Pomerol M. Moueix quite evidently knew a good thing when he saw it. The wines issuing from this hallowed terroir have never been better and certainly its price remains considerably more friendly than either of its namesake properties!
Tasting Notes and Scores
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 La Fleur Petrus has been an impressive Pomerol in recent showings. This one does nothing to alter that view. It has plenty of energy on the nose with great delineation: cranberry, pomegranate, singed leather and a touch of melted tar, firmly moving into secondary territory. The palate is medium-bodied with good structure, still quite tight but with a keen line of acidity and plenty of truffle-infused, black, dusky fruit on the finish. Great wine in an off-vintage. Tasted February 2017.

One of the stars of the vintage, this deep plum/ruby-tinged 2007 offers a big, sweet kiss of black cherries, blackberries, licorice, and earth. Round, generous, and medium-bodied with an intensity of flavor and silkiness that are endearing, it should drink nicely for a decade or more.
