Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2025 is a refined and powerful Pomerol from the Jean-Pierre Moueix portfolio, crafted from 97% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. It opens with expressive aromas of blackberries, dark fruit, mint, and subtle floral and spice notes. The palate is dense yet highly polished, showing firm, linear tannins, vibrant energy, and a pure, crystalline fruit core. Despite its concentration and depth, the wine remains elegant and harmonious, finishing long with freshness, precision, and mineral lift. A benchmark Pomerol with outstanding ageing potential.

Aromas of al dente fruit, blackberries and a hint of mint. Medium- to full-bodied with firm and linear tannins that are polished and caressing. Persistent finish of dark, brooding fruit. You don’t really see the tannins, just the purity of fruit. Energetic and intense at the end. 97% merlot and 3% petit verdot.

Along with Trotanoy, the 2025 La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the more powerful, massive wines in the Mouiex portfolio this year. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet dark fruits, black truffle and a deft touch of new oak, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with ripe, polished tannins despite its power, good energy and a seamless, integrated profile.

Raspberries, soft red plums and cool blue fruit notes on the nose – quite fruit forward and expressive. Clean and crisp, a lovely clarity to this – pure and focused with plenty of grip and hold but not chewy or overly ripe, more chalky and powdery. It’s reserved for sure, quiet and almost discrete. I love the cool juiciness and the tannin presence in the mouth – everything is very harmonious despite it being dialled down from its normal bigger, more stylish style. I think this is a bit of a dark horse. Crystalline, dark, knitted and focused with touches of spice, clove, cinnamon, tobacco and aniseed on the finish. I like it a lot but it’s not a wow look at me wine, almost the opposite.

History
Chateau La Fleur-Petrus is one of the most renowned vineyards of Pomerol. This historic estate, situated exclusively on the plateau, was named in the 18th century for its position across the localities Petrus and La Fleur. Established in Libourne since 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix perceived early on the excellent quality of the Pomerol appellation. Chateau La Fleur-Petrus was his very first acquisition in 1950. Quickly after, he purchased Chateau Trotanoy in 1953. 

The personality of Chateau La Fleur-Petrus lies in the careful association of the famous gravel and clay terroirs of the plateau of Pomerol. The vineyard, located at 33 to 38 meters above sea level, draws its identity from the nuances of soil and elevation of each parcel. Those parcels which are dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense, and structured.

Chateau La Fleur-Petrus is composed predominantly of Merlot, which lends silkiness and generosity to the wine. Cabernet Franc, planted on gravel and fine clay, contributes rigor and complexity, while a small percentage of Petit Verdot, planted on fine gravel, offers a hint of spice to the finish.

The wine combines a unique elegance with the generosity and structure typical of the great vineyards of Pomerol. An attentive tasting reveals remarkable refinement, complexity, and a touch of violet.
