Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2023
Pomerol
La Fleur-Pétrus is the flagship wine of the historic Moueix family estate, named for its location between Château Pétrus and Château La Fleur. Acquired in 1950 by Jean-Pierre Moueix, it has since reclaimed its place among Pomerol’s finest under Christian Moueix, with expanded holdings and a relentless focus on vineyard care. The blend is typically 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, grown on three distinct soil types that together express the full character of Pomerol. Vinification is traditional and precise, followed by 18–22 months of aging in oak, about half new.

Reviews
James Suckling - December 10, 2025 "Blackberries, black truffles and hints of cedar, bark and graphite on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy, polished tannins and a long and flavorful finish. This is tight and well formed, with poised strength. Give it until 2030 to show its magic."
Vinous - March 1, 2026 "The 2023 La Fleur-Pétrus is impeccable. Delicate yet pliant, La Fleur-Pétrus captures the duality of the vintage. Soft contours envelop dark red plum, cedar, pipe tobacco, dried herbs and incense. The 2023 opens beautifully with a bit of time in the glass. I suspect it will do very much the same over the next few years in bottle. This is such a classy, polished Pomerol."
Wine Spectator - May 31, 2026 "Offers a solid, focused core of ripe cassis and plum fruit, but there’s also lovely lift, with violet and ink notes adding range. Meanwhile, underneath courses a steady cast iron element, along with sweet tobacco and chestnut accents. Refined and lengthy, with depth that sets this apart from the pack."
Wine Advocate - April 9, 2026 "Perfumed and refined, the 2023 La Fleur-Pétrus has turned out very well, offering aromas of rose petals, dark berries, plums and incense, with new oak rendered almost imperceptible. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and deep, it is layered, built around a concentrated core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, penetrating, mineral finish."
