Fresh and clean with hazelnut, chocolate and berry character. Truffles too. Full body, with silky tannins and a tangy finish. I like the balance and finesse to this young Lafleur Petrus. So refined and beautiful. Better in 2017.

The 2010 La Fleur-Pétrus is a striking wine that is beginning to show brilliantly today. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berry and cherry fruit mingled with black truffles, baking chocolate, loamy soil and subtle hints of cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's rich and layered, with an elegantly muscular profile and a long, resonant finish. This is a dramatic, sensual and beautifully balanced wine that represents the essence of Pomerol. - William Kelley

This has a dense, almost loamy feel at the core, with smoldering bay and ganache notes leading to layers of fig preserves, blackberry coulis and steeped black currant fruit. The terrific, charcoal-coated grip drives the finish with authority. This seems poised to expand significantly in the cellar. Best from 2016 through 2035. – JM

Fresh picked flowers Valhrona chocolate and boysenberry liqueur perfume entice your palate to experience layers of refined silk and velvet plums and black cherries. Luscious ripe rich pure sweet and long the wine ends with a chocolate coated fresh black raspberry liqueur finish

An unmistakeable Pomerol swagger greets you right on the first nose, and this is a delicious wine packed with black fruits, graphite, baking spice, plum, pomegranate and curls of bitter black chocolate. You can drink this with a good carafe first, but no rush at all. 50% new oak. More proof that, when it comes to this much-loved appellation, the Moueix family barely put a foot wrong.

Tasted at JP Moueix. Deep garnet in colour the La Fleur-Petrus has a ripe opulent bouquet with blackberry dark cherries crushed violet and just a hint of blueberry pie. Good delineation and mineralité here. The palate is full-bodied powerful a little spicy on the entry and energetic in the mouth. Very good weight with touches of truffle and a dash of white pepper sprinkled over the dense black fruits a touch of tar on the tannic finish. There is a lot of bravura on this La Fleur-Petrus though it needs to nurture a little more substance to pull it off. Great potential though.

A majestic wine, grand in every sense. It has weight, the firmest of tannins and an immense sense of structure. This neighbor of Château Pétrus is firmly dense, showing both the fruits and the tannins in balance. Give this wine at least 10 years in the cellar.
