Depth in the 2018 Château La Fleur-Petrus comes in waves of dark plum, black raspberry and cassis layered with cocoa, spice and a gentle earthy warmth, all wrapped in a satin-rich texture. The structure is powerful but refined, with tightly woven tannins and superb balance that promise a long, graceful evolution in bottle. This is a concentrated, modern Pomerol that remains remarkably poised and fragrant despite its muscle.

Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a benchmark Merlot-dominant Pomerol from the Mourix family’s historic estate, planted on the appellation’s prized plateau of deep clay and gravel between Petrus and Lafleur. Blending mostly Merlot with Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot, it typically marries silken texture and floral elegance with dense black-fruit depth, fine structure, and notable aging potential, embodying the refined yet generous style of top Right Bank Bordeaux.
