The estate was established by carpenter Jean-François Julien and wife Véronique. The property covers just over 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) in Saint-Pey-d'Amens, on unassuming, sandy alluvial land on the plain a few kilometers south of the more prestigious terroir of the Saint-Emilion plateau. Indeed, the commune of Saint-Pey-d'Amens is on the very southeastern edge of the appellation. Despite its location, Julien insists the soil makeup on his plot is an iron-rich clay-limestone combination worthy of greater consideration. Furthermore, La Fleur Morange is not the only estate on the Saint-Emilion plain to garner rave reviews – Château Teyssier lies only four kilometers (2.4 miles) due west while fellow Grand Cru Classé Château Quinault l'Enclos also sits on alluvial land 12km (7.4 miles) to the west in the suburbs of Libourne. The first vintage of Château La Fleur Morange was in 1999 and, made in a garage, only 900 bottles of the wine were produced. A 93-point score for the 2000 vintage from US critic Robert Parker, however, propelled the enterprise into stardom and the wines boast a cult following and continue to be critically well-received. The vineyard is planted predominantly to Merlot with about a quarter Cabernet Franc. Bunches are hand-harvested and berries are destemmed by hand. Fermention is carried out in conical vats and the wine is gravity-fed to barrel for aging in new French oak barriques. The wines spend typically two years in barrel. As well as the Grand Vin, the estate also produces (alongside cuvées Avalone and Marchode) Mathilde: a second wine; normally entirely made from Merlot; and named after the Julien's daughter. Despite some aging in oak, the wine is released earlier for more immediate drinking.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-25T17:56:42-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-22T17:53:07-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK220324","Other_Wine","Producer_Château La Fleur Morange","Region_Saint-Emilion","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":19999,"price_min":19999,"price_max":19999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44525943488650,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Château La Fleur Morange | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":19999,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/40_3bf7df2a-b441-4b71-9151-b4e86e7f2554.jpg?v=1711144446"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/40_3bf7df2a-b441-4b71-9151-b4e86e7f2554.jpg?v=1711144446","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Château La Fleur Morange | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru at CaskCartel.com","id":26538970218634,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.556,"height":700,"width":389,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/40_3bf7df2a-b441-4b71-9151-b4e86e7f2554.jpg?v=1711144446"},"aspect_ratio":0.556,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/40_3bf7df2a-b441-4b71-9151-b4e86e7f2554.jpg?v=1711144446","width":389}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2016 | Château La Fleur Morange | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir 2016 La Fleur Morange is another beauty, boasting full-bodied richness and serious concentration go with a monster bouquet of crème de cassis, spring flowers, rose petals, and ample sandy, loamy soil notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château La Fleur Morange\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Saint-Emilion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir 2016 La Fleur Morange is another beauty, boasting full-bodied richness and serious concentration go with a monster bouquet of crème de cassis, spring flowers, rose petals, and ample sandy, loamy soil notes.
