La Fleur-Pétrus
The famous Château La Fleur-Pétrus can rightly be considered one of the finest producers of Merlot in Pomerol and the entire Bordeaux region. The estate is the sister to Château Pétrus and Chateau Trotanoy, all owned by Jean Pierre Moueix since 1952, and dates back to the 18th century.
Château La Fleur-Pétrus’ vineyard draws strength from its gravel and clay terroir, situated on the plateau of Pomerol between 33 to 38 meters above sea level. The names ‘Pétrus’ and ‘La Fleur’ pay homage to its location, adjacent to Châteaux Pétrus and Lafleur.
The hand-harvested grapes are mainly Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc.
OUR VERDICT
Château La Fleur-Pétrus is distinctly different from the 2 neighbouring chateaux that help make up its name. From a potpourri of different soil types, the wine varies according to the season more than others in Pomerol. As the climate warms, it’s certainly benefitted from being on the clay plateau of the appellation.
