    Château La Fleur-Pétrus

    About Château La Fleur-Pétrus

    Dating from the 19th century, it was historically seen as a good-quality property which didn’t quite live up to its considerable potential even when JP Mouiex acquired it in 1953. Today run by Edouard and his father Christian Moueix, the latter taking over the Château in 1978, it is surmised that the taking over of legendary namesake Château Pétrus entirely by the JF Moueix/Duclot branch of the family in 2011 has had an energising effect on the team at La Fleur-Pétrus, allowing them to pour their full efforts into its elevation to the highest echelons of Pomerol.

    This property’s revolution began in earnest in 2012 with the addition of 5.3 hectares of gravel-clay soils from Château Guillot as well as 5.9 hectares formerly bottled by the Moueix family as “Providence”. A ruthless chopping and changing of what would be considered worthy of Château La Fleur-Pétrus ensued, with any and all land falling below the Moueix definition of the Pomerol plateau relegated to its (still very fine) sibling estate Château Lagrange (Pomerol). By the end of this seismic undertaking, a full 6 hectares of vines were no longer to be producing fruit for this label.

    Viniculture

    The entirety of Château La Fleur-Pétrus is now planted on the plateau, giving rise to exquisite grapes and sensational wines but also requiring the addition of extensive drainage channels as it is a true – extremely flat – plateau rising no more than 15cm across the full length.

    Planted to 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, there are in total three plots with 16 distinct soil types from clay, sand and gravel representing incredibly varied terroir for one single Château. The wine itself, in the words of Jane Anson (Decanter), “captures the Pomerol sexiness that is such a pleasing signature of the appellation”. Ineffably complex with wonderfully layered, dense dark fruits, La Fleur-Pétrus is distinguishable for its sublime core of acidity bringing freshness to its richness, whilst grippy tannins mellow with age to form an utterly seductive and finessed wine.

    A magnificent Pétrus. A virtual spicerack of a wine, this Bordeaux features exotic, spicy aromas, with nuances of cinnamon, strawberries and raspberries. Full-bodied and tannic, with an amazing wild berry, sweet fruit and spice aftertaste. Best after 2002. 3,200 cases made.

    Fantastic. Dark ruby color with hints of purple. Glorious aromas of blackberry, tobacco, cedar and slightly wet earth. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a fabulous finish. This is subtle and refined. Wonderful length. Tasted side by side with the 2000 Pétrus, it is clearly better. Today, I give it two points higher than previous tastings. Perfection.--Pétrus non-blind vertical. Best after 2012.

    A sleeping giant. Dark ruby in color, showing aromas of blackberry, cèpe and green olive, with a hint of mineral. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a supercaressing mouthfeel. Turns to coffee, dark chocolate and berry. Chewy yet balanced. Very, very long in the mouth. The finish is absolutely breathtaking. Best after 2013. -JS

    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.

    Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting. The 2012 La Fleur Pétrus has a mint-fresh bouquet, vigorous and vivid, with delineated red cherry, raspberry and cassis fruit under which is a strata of wet limestone. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is a more understated Pomerol but there is real nuance here, black truffle and leather tinging the introspective black fruit. Yet behind that is harmony and finesse, notwithstanding impressive length and sustain. It may be slightly over-shadowed by the sensational Trotanoy, but Pomerol-lovers will lap up this fantastic La Fleur-Petrus from the JP Moueix team. Tasted January 2016.

    One of the true stand outs of the vintage, the 2013 La Fleur-Pétrus is superb. Graphite, violets, lavender, savory herbs, smoke and purplish fruit all meld together in a wine of incomparable grace. The La Fleur-Pétrus impresses for its textural elegance, volume and sheer class. It is without question one of the wines of the year. These pebbly, well-draining soils handled the vintage as well as could have been expected.

    The 2014 Lafleur-Pétrus is a wine of translucence and total finesse. Deep and rich, yet also light on its feet, the 2014 Lafleur-Pétrus is one of the most distinctive wines of the vintage for the way in which it brings together intensity and elegance, all with an unmistakably understated personality. Bright aromatic top notes add to the wine’s open-knit bouquet and overall feeling of sensuality. A considerable amount of Cabernet Franc character comes through, even if Franc is only 7 % of the blend. All the elements are in the right place. In 2014, Lafleur-Pétrus is 93 % Merlot and 7 % Cabernet Franc.

    The 2017 Lafleur-Petrus is elegant, polished and wonderfully refined from start to finish. Everything just falls into place effortlessly. Aromatic, sculpted fruit gives the 2017 its sense of regal beauty and total finesse. Beautifully lifted and precise, it is framed by gentle, silky tannins. Small red berries, mint, blood orange, spice and licorice develop in the glass, but it is the wine's cashmere-like softness that impresses most. In 2017 Lafleur-Petrus is a real standout.

    The 2019 La Fleur-Pétrus is pure and total seduction. Trotanoy and perhaps also Hosanna have traditionally been viewed as more exclusive Pomerols in the Moueix portfolio. The more time passes, the less I share that view. Sure, La Fleur-Pétrus does not have the mystique associated from a small single vineyard - as many Pomerols do - and yet there is no denying the elegance and class here. Bright red fleshed fruit, blood orange and exotic spice race across the palate, framed by silky, plush tannins that wrap it all together. La Fleur-Pétrus is fabulous. That's all there is to it.
