Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2011 is a mature, Merlot-dominant Bordeaux from the Pomerol appellation on the region`s Right Bank. La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the most renowned estates in Pomerol and its Grand Vin is without doubt one of the most sought-after from the appellation. The gravel and clay terroir of the plateau of Pomerol provides La Fleur-Pétrus with its seamless combination of silky depth and elegance. Fruit from gravel soils tends to provide the elegance and lifted perfume; fruit from the clay soils the structure and density. "A medium ruby colour is followed by a vivid nose of sweet kirsch, raspberries, flowers and dusty, loamy soil notes. This terrifically scented 2011 is medium-bodied, quintessentially elegant, and loaded with flavour... This relatively forward 2011 Pomerol should drink well for 10-15 years." Robert Parker, 2014
