98 / 100"The complex aromatic profile offers smoke, licorice, violets, cocoa, and a myriad of red and black plums. As good as the nose is, it's the sensuously-textured palate, with its waves of velvet-topped fruits that steal the show. The perfectly ripe, deep fruits provide length, lift, and complexity, with a lingering finish that keep you coming back for more. The wine blends 96.5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and .05 Petit Verdot. The harvest took place September 1 - September 19. - The Wine Cellar Insider"

"94-96 Barrel sample. Smoothly textured, this powerful wine is from a vineyard close to Château Pétrus. It has a fine, solid character that offers dusty tannins and concentration. The wine will need time."

Tasting Notes
Château Lafleur-Pétrus, a prestigious estate in Pomerol, offers a compelling blend of tradition and quality. Situated between Château Lafleur and Château Pétrus, this estate benefits from an exceptional terroir of clay and gravel soils, ideal for Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
Winemaker Christian Moueix ensures meticulous attention to detail in every vintage. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel vats, preserving the pure expression of the fruit. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with a mix of new and seasoned wood, enhancing its complexity and depth.
Each vintage of Château Lafleur-Pétrus reveals a bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of violet. On the palate, expect rich flavours of dark fruits, subtle spice, and finely integrated tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish. This wine offers outstanding value and prestige, making it a distinguished addition to any collection and a delight for discerning palates.
