Chateau La Fleur-Petrus2018
About this product
Taking its name from its nearest neighbours, Petrus and Chateau Lafleur, the estate passed through several hands before being bought by Jean Pierre Moueix in 1953. While already established as a wine producer of great clout, the estate truly came into its own under his capable hands. The vineyards were replanted after the 1956 frost, after which four hectares of old vines - from Chateau Le Gay - were added to their vineyards.

This is a tannic and structured red with loads of walnut, hazelnut, dark-berry and wet-earth character. Full-bodied yet tight and reserved. Muscular and beautifully formed.

91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
Deep crimson. Intense dark cherry, dark plum praline aromas with inky notes. Gorgeously seductive wine with deep set dark cherry, dark plum fruits, dense supple totally ripe tannins, excellent mid palate richness and superb acid line. Finishes velvety and long. A substantial wine with the density and perfect structure to age for the long term.
