What is Château La Fleur-Pétrus?
Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a single-estate Pomerol from Bordeaux’s Right Bank, producing one grand vin defined by its site and blend. The 18.7-hectare vineyard is planted mainly to Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and a small share of Petit Verdot.
Gravel and deep clay soils over iron-rich subsoil shape the wine’s elegance and structure. The style shows smooth, generous Merlot fruit, layered with depth from Cabernet Franc and a subtle spice note from Petit Verdot, yielding a balanced, velvety texture and a refined finish.
