Wine Description
The 2018 vintage of Chateau La Fleur-Petrus is a remarkable expression of Pomerol’s finest terroir, crafted from a blend of 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. This wine opens with a medium garnet-purple hue and initially presents a slightly closed-down nose, which gradually reveals an impressive array of aromas. The complex bouquet unfurls with earthy elements of black truffles, mossy tree bark, and damp soil, which are layered over a core of ripe plum preserves, wild blueberries, and redcurrants. A fragrant waft of menthol lilacs adds an alluring perfume to the mix.
On the palate, the Chateau La Fleur-Petrus 2018 impresses with its medium to full body and a silky, velvety texture. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a vibrant freshness that elevates the dense black fruit and earthy layers. Its harmonious structure leads to a finish that is both long-lasting and perfumed, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and depth. This wine has tremendous ageing potential, with a drinking window from 2025 to 2055, allowing it to develop even further in the bottle.

| Winery | A blend of 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, 2018 la Fleur-Petrus has a medium garnet-purple colour and a slightly closed-down nose to begin, soon unfurling to reveal earthy notions of black truffles, mossy tree bark and damp soil, over a core of plum preserves, wild blueberries and redcurrants, plus a fragrant waft of menthol lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate has the most gorgeous, velvety texture with well-knit freshness, giving a lift to the densely packed black fruit and earthy layers, finishing with a beguiling perfume. Stunning. Give it a good 3-4 years in a bottle, and drink it over the next 30 years or more. 2025 – 2055 97+ points Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, Mar 2021 |
