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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(148, 3, 3); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 99-100\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 30, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAromas of al dente fruit, blackberries and a hint of mint.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 14.50%\u003cbr\u003eBody: Medium\u003cbr\u003eOak: Oaked\u003cbr\u003eGrapes: 97% Merlot 3% Petit Verdot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(148, 3, 3);\"\u003eJR 17.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished: Apr 23, 2026\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2032-2050\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e97% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot.

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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChateau 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0);\"\u003ePlease read the full En Primeur \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/pages\/en-primeur-terms-and-conditions\" title=\"En Primeur Terms \u0026amp; Conditions\" style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0);\"\u003eterms \u0026amp; conditions\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"En-Primeur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41224970600512,"sku":"RDFR20250016","price":192.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/chateau-la-fleur-petrus-pomerol-750ml.jpg?v=1762934253","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/chateau-la-fleur-petrus-pomerol-eta-q3-2028-en-primeur-2025-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
