Pomerol

Vivid plum colour, this is intense and rippled on the opening, with spiced rosemary and espresso, quickly softens to show supple tannins and grilled cumin and turmeric spice. Great quality, gourmet, soft landing.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple colored. Springs from the glass with vibrant notes of fresh blackberries and kirsch, leading to hints of iron ore, red roses, and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate delivers firm, velvety tannins and a great core of red and black fruit, backed up by a well-knit acidity, finishing long and spicy.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 La Fleur-Petrus strolls out of the glass with confidently classic notes of ripe plums, boysenberries, and pencil shavings followed by nuances of lilacs, iron ore, and tapenade. The medium-bodied palate is tight-knit and lively, with fine-grained tannins and a lingering ferrous finish. The blend is 96.5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Petit Verdot.

The 2022 La Fleur-Petrus is composed of 96.5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose is completely locked-down to start, needing a lot of shaking to wake up profound notes of Morello cherries, fresh black plums, and boysenberry preserves, giving way to graceful waves of iron ore and iris scents with a touch of wood smoke. the full-bodied palate is an exercise in finesse, featuring beautifully ripe, silt-like tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and minerally. Impressive wine, yet it will require some patient cellaring.

Silky tannins, not a word I am using often with this vintage (and one that I see only after tasting in bottle that I also used during the En Primeur tasting note). The emphasis is on blue fruits, black truffles, chamomile tea and bitter chocolate, with blueberry, cloves, liqourice root and rose petals, slender fruit structure but full of finesse and pleasure. September 23 to October 6 harvest, 50% new oak for ageing.

A blend of 93% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2020 La Fleur-Petrus has a deep garnet-purple color. It is quite closed to start, soon unfurling to offer glimpses of notes of redcurrant jelly, fresh black cherries, and juicy blueberries, followed by touches of red roses, wood smoke, and crushed rocks, plus a hint of dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and chock-full of rich, decadently fragrant black fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a mineral lift. A stunning wine - bravo!

Composed of 94% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2019 La Fleur-Petrus is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with lifted kirsch, cedar, and black raspberry scents, followed by notions of sandalwood, preserved plums, and chocolate box plus a waft of star anise. The full-bodied palate is jam packed with ripe black fruits, framed by firm tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy.

Continuing a run of strong vintages at Lafleur-Petrus, this has finesse and elegance alongside its muscular, powerful tannins. Think smoked blueberries, cloves and chocolate-dipped raspberries, concentrated and confident, opening to black truffles and campfire smoke. Pomerol signature in spades.

You'd have to be particularly committed to young, concentrated wines to really feel you are getting La Fleur-Pétrus 2016 at its height if drinking any time soon, but it was hard to resist counting it among my wines of the year. We had it after a 24 hour carafe, and I would recommend doing the same - what you get in return is luscious, balanced and beatifully seductive Pomerol. sensuous and luscious upfront, and then the freshness and uplift clamps through on the mid palate, and you are taken up vertically with whirls of mint and eucalyptus. Vertical uplift, gorgeous grip, violet edges, with a push and pull between intensity and teasingly-slow acidity. For me this beats the brilliant 2015 of this wine. It's all finesse, rewarding the effort and investment that has gone into La Fleur Pétrus in recent years. Loved it En Primeur and love it in bottle.

Lite lufting. Mørke plommer, sjokolade, kaffe, lakris, tørket tobakk, lukt av gammel kaffegrut. Tett, kompakt, men fortsatt veldig tilgjengelig. Utrolig flott.

Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 La Fleur-Petrus needs a little swirling to unlock delicate scents of powdered cinnamon and clove oil leading to a core of prunes and raisin cake with a touch of tobacco. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly crafted with appealing freshness and plush tannins, finishing with a spicy whisper.

La Fleur-Petrus 2013 is medium garnet in color, with a touch of brick. Pretty notes of kirsch, dried roses, and cinnamon stick give way to scents of aniseed and cracked black pepper. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and fresh, with well-managed, fine-grained tannins and a perfumed finish. Impressive!

Tighter tannins than many in Pomerol this is built to last, with layers of liquorice, black chocolate, power and punch. You'll find more nuance in more recent vintages of La Fleur-Pétrus, but this is enjoyable, fleshy with ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit and displaying huge confidence. A great choice for signature Pomerol over the next decade or more. Harvest September 24 and October 11 - and a key vintage at the property, as this was the first vintage with the addition of land from Ch Guillot and Providence, and the removal of vines that were incorporated into sibling estate Lagrange. 50% new oak.

Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2010 La Fleur-Petrus is closed to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal notes of blueberry pie, cast-iron pan, beef dripping, and potpourri, leading to touches of cigar box and damp soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate shimmers with energy, framed by very fine, silt-like tannins and beautiful tension, finishing long and graceful.

Medium garnet in color, the 2005 La Fleur-Petrus scoots out of the glass with expressive notes of cigar box, iron ore, and fallen leaves with a beautiful core of dried cherries, prunes, and Chinese five spice. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played, with refreshing red berry and ferrous accents complementing the plum preserves and earthy layers, finishing long and savory.

The vines that made this wine came from the original footprint of La Fleur-Pétrus, a little different from the vineyard makeup today, but still largely from the high-quality Pomerol plateau. Even at 36 years old, it is still showing the gourmet signature of the appellation, with a touch of smoked creme caramel alongside raspberry and spiced plum fruit, with caressing tannins. Fully in its drinking window, with tertiary character, curls of tobacco and campfire, thoroughly charming. Owned by the Moueix family since 1950, Jean-Claude Berrouet winemaker at this point, as he had been since the 1970s.

One of the wines of this incredible lineup, it shone from the first moment with its caressing, pillowy tannins, tobacco, white truffles and saffron-infused raspberries, altogether mouthwatering and gulpable, with the seductive charm of a great Pomerol. Produced just four years after the frost that was so devastating to Pomerol in particular, with its early-ripening soils that mean the sap had already begun to rise by the time the temperatures plunged, and many of its vines were entirely destroyed. It meant that this La Fleur-Pétrus would have been produced mainly from the hardier older vines, which helps explain not only its own success, but those of the much-lauded vintages of 1959 and 1961 on either side. A better vintage on the Right Bank than Left, and a time when La Fleur-Pétrus was being made from its original footprints of vines, and the 10th anniversary of its purchase by Jean-François Moieux in 1950.
