Nestled in the heart of Pomerol, France, lies the esteemed Château La Fleur-Pétrus. With a rich history dating back to the 18th century, this iconic estate was named after its location between the localities of ‘Petrus’ and ‘La Fleur’. Acquired by Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1950, it was his very first purchase in the region, followed by the renowned Château Trotanoy in 1953.
Perched exclusively on the plateau of Pomerol, Château La Fleur-Pétrus boasts a unique personality, thanks to the careful blending of gravel and clay terroirs. With an elevation of 33 to 38 meters above sea level, each parcel of the vineyard offers a distinct character, shaped by the nuances of soil and elevation. The gravel-dominant parcels produce wines of exceptional elegance, while those with a higher clay content create velvety, dense and structured wines.
The star of Château La Fleur-Pétrus is undoubtedly the Merlot grape, which makes up the majority of the blend. This varietal adds a silky texture and generosity to the wine. Cabernet Franc, grown on gravel and fine clay, brings a touch of complexity and structure, while the small addition of Petit Verdot, planted on fine gravel, adds a subtle hint of spice to the finish.
The result is a wine that effortlessly combines elegance and generosity, a true representation of the greatness of Pomerol. Upon tasting, one is met with a symphony of refined flavors, complexity and a delicate hint of violet. With its distinctive character and unwavering quality, Château La Fleur-Pétrus stands as a shining example of the best that Pomerol has to offer.
