Succulent and juicy straight away, this has a little party in your mouth giving the chalky strawberry, perfumed blackcurrant, dark chocolate, liquorice and pencil lead all together – bringing a ton of fruit, spice and acidity with thrilling results. You get a touch of austerity still, the minerality and salinity on the tongue but I love the expression here. Feels well worked, all in harmony with such precision on show. Pure class with a seductive core, gentle frame but intense concentration. Super long finish. The Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot really add that extra touch of deliciousness and intrigue. The star for me in the very impressive Moueix lineup this year. (GH)

Very polished with fine tannins that finish intensely. It’s a medium-to full-bodied red with focus. Blackberry and blackcurrant flavors. Hints of tobacco and nutmeg, too.

Unquestionably one of the standouts in the Moueix stable is the 2021 Château La Fleur-Petrus, a beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, elegant Pomerol that readers will love. Vivid purple in color with lots of cassis and darker berry fruits, it has classic Pomerol graphite, damp earth, and chalky minerality, some background oak, perfectly integrated tannins, and a great finish.

Cult Wines International Notes:

Château Lafleur-Pétrus is a prestigious estate located in the heart of Pomerol, an appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank known for producing some of the world’s most luxurious Merlot-based wines. The estate’s name itself highlights its prime location between the famed vineyards of Château Lafleur and Château Pétrus, a testament to the exceptional quality of its terroir.

The vineyard is predominantly planted with Merlot, which thrives in the clay and gravel soils of Pomerol, lending the wine its plush, velvety texture. A significant portion of Cabernet Franc is also used, contributing a layer of aromatic complexity and a structured backbone to the final blend. The meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar focuses on expressing the pure elegance and concentration of the Pomerol terroir.

In the glass, Château Lafleur-Pétrus is renowned for its deep, rich color and a captivating bouquet. The nose is a complex tapestry of black cherry, wild berries, and plum, with subtle notes of truffle, spice, and violet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, offering a powerful yet silky texture with refined tannins. The finish is long, harmonious, and truly memorable.

Château Lafleur-Pétrus is a benchmark for the Pomerol appellation. It is a wine that combines power and grace, and its ability to age for decades makes it a highly sought-after wine for collectors. It is an exquisite expression of its exceptional terroir and a true delight for those who appreciate the finest Right Bank wines.
