Ready, but will improve,
Christian’s ‘other’ Lafleur is as like to the Lafleur-Gazin as chalk is to cheese. With the vineyard situated right next to the celebrated Ch. Pétrus (also belonging to the Moueix stable), the 2008 is a dense, serious wine indeed with masses of black fruit lurking underneath. The huge level of tannin will allow this to keep for many years yet but when it is ready, this will be a monster.

For laying down,
Nestled between Ch. Lafleur and Ch. Pétrus (hence the name) you couldn't get much better terroir for a wine than this. This is always one of the most elegant wines in Pomerol, but in 2006 it also has a pleasing rich decadence, very good balance and plummy spice (in every sense of the word). The tannins are firm but silky, and overall this is lovely mouthfilling stuff. Another triumph for the Moueix stable and further proof of how well Pomerol has performed in 2006.

Ready, but will keep,
The wines of Christian Moueix not least Ptrus, Lafleur and Trotanoy - are synonymous with excellence so we are not entirely surprised that La Fleur Ptrus has outperformed the vintage in 2007. The wine is a real triumph from its fragrant creamy raspberry nose to the lovely sweet, silky raspberry and strawberry fruit, firm but ripe tannins and long pure finish. This year it has added a rather libertine layer of succulence and seductiveness that will make it absolutely delicious to drink. Superbly located on a gravel-rich plateau sandwiched between the legendary Lafleur and Ptrus, this outstanding wine is surprisingly close in quality to its far grander siblings.

Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a Pomerol estate that has been owned by Jean Pierre Moueix (who also owns Pétrus and Trotanoy) since 1952.
Four years after it was purchased, Bordeaux was hit by its worst frosts in living memory and most of the vineyards at Lafleur-Pétrus were destroyed and had to be replanted. La Fleur-Pétrus's 9.08 hectare vineyard is on a plateau east of Pomerol sandwiched between Lafleur and Pétrus. The soils are rich in gravel and the vineyard is planted with 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
La Fleur-Pétrus's grapes are hand-harvested and then fermented in temperature-controlled concrete vats. The wine is then aged in small oak barriques (50% new) for 18 months. Lafleur-Pétrus produce elegant, smooth and refined Pomerols that, whilst lacking the concentration and intensity found in Pétrus, are still amongst the finest wines of the region.
