2006 | Chateau La Fleur Petrus | Pomerol

Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a prestigious estate in Pomerol, producing an excellent Merlot-dominant wine. The property was the first purchase of many by Jean-Pierre Moueix, who went on to acquire Château Trotanoy, Château Hosanna and most notably Pétrus. This release is from the 2006 vintage which combines a unique elegance with the generosity and structure typical of the great vineyards of Pomerol.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2006 Château La Fleur-Petrus has a fragrant, crushed rose petal bouquet mixed with raspberry coulis and wild strawberry scents, the oak beautifully assimilated and demonstrating fine precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, bright blueberry and black plum notes mixed with cedar and minerals towards the finish. This is turning into a très bon vin!

• Wine Spectator: Enticing, with mint, bergamot tea, lightly mulled blood orange, melted red licorice and warmed raspberry confiture, this has the DNA of the vineyard but takes on the more open, slightly cooler feel of the vintage. The finish reveals a subtle grain, showing length and lingering minerality.

Producer Information

Château La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the most renowned vineyards of Pomerol. This historic estate, situated exclusively on the plateau, was named in the 18th century for its position across the localities ‘Petrus’ and ‘La Fleur’. Established in Libourne since 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix perceived early on the excellent quality of the Pomerol appellation. Château La Fleur-Pétrus was his very first acquisition in 1950. Quickly after, he purchased Château Trotanoy in 1953. The personality of Château La Fleur-Pétrus lies in the careful association of the famous gravel and clay terroirs of the plateau of Pomerol. The vineyard, located at 33 to 38 meters above sea level, draws its identity from the nuances of soil and elevation of each parcel. Those parcels which are dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense, and structured.
