La Fleur-Pétrus 2021 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a renowned estate in Pomerol, owned by Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1952. Situated near Château Pétrus and Château Lafleur, it enjoys an excellent location in the eastern part of Pomerol. "Succulent and juicy straight away, this has a little party in your mouth giving the chalky strawberry, perfumed blackcurrant, dark chocolate, liquorice and pencil lead all together - bringing a ton of fruit, spice and acidity with thrilling results. You get a touch of austerity still, the minerality and salinity on the tongue but I love the expression here. Feels well worked, all in harmony with such precision on show. Pure class with a seductive core, gentle frame but intense concentration. Super long finish. The Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot really add that extra touch of deliciousness and intrigue. The star for me in the very impressive Moueix lineup this year." Decanter, 2022
