Château La Fleur-Pétrus 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 in 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix had an eye for the excellent quality potential of the Pomerol appellation. Château La Fleur-Pétrus was his very first acquisition in 1950. A Merlot dominant blend, here is the 1985 vintage.
