Ch. La Fleur-Petrus, Pomerol, 2005 Red Wine, 75cL, Bordeaux, FranceBy Winebuyers

Ch. La Fleur-Petrus, Pomerol, 2005 is a 75cl red wine from Winebuyers. The modern era of La Fleur Petrus starts in 1952, when the chateau is acquired by Jean Pierre Moueix. Moueix immediately increases the size of the vineyard by buying 4 hectares from neighbouring Chateau Le Gay. Some forty years later, Christian Moueix adds another 4 hectares thus reaching the current vineyard size. The 18.7 hectares of vineyards are on the plateau in the eastern part of Pomerol, right in between Lafleur and Petrus, and are planted to over 90% Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot making up the balance. The wine is matured for 18 months in between 30% to 50% new oak barrels depending on the style and quality of the vintage. La Fleur Petrus is producing beautiful wines which encapsulate the essence of Pomerol – with densely packed dark fruits and a silky mouthfeel that lingers, this is a sultry, sexy Pomerol. The grapes are sourced entirely from 35-year-old vines growing in the region. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
