Château La Fleur-Pétrus 1982

Château La Fleur-Pétrus 1982 is a benchmark Pomerol from one of the most respected names in Bordeaux, offering the depth and richness that made this vintage legendary. Made predominantly from Merlot and carrying the signature touch of the Moueix family, it combines power, concentration, and classic Right Bank elegance in a wine of real historical stature.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, inky core with mature amber at the rim, reflecting both concentration and graceful age. The bouquet is intensely layered, opening with ripe berry and cherry fruit, then moving into mineral tones, meatiness, pepper, and subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generously textured, with a velvety yet substantial tannic frame. The wine remains remarkably rich and traditional in style, with the balance and structure to continue evolving, though it is at a stage where its secondary and tertiary aromas are likely to be at their most expressive.

Production
La Fleur-Pétrus comes from Pomerol, where the gravelly and clay-rich soils are particularly well suited to Merlot, helping to build the wine’s signature depth and supple structure. Over the years the vineyard has expanded to around 18 hectares, with the majority planted to Merlot alongside Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot; the grapes are carefully handled under the direction of the Moueix family, with vinification and ageing carried out using modern facilities while still respecting the traditional character of the estate.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic dishes that match its depth and mature complexity, such as roast lamb, beef fillet, duck confit, game birds, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting gently if the bottle is in sound condition, allowing the aromas to open without stripping away the nuance of its age.

Producer
Château La Fleur-Pétrus is part of the celebrated Moueix portfolio, the family often described as the “kings of Pomerol” for their extraordinary influence in Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Jean-Pierre Moueix acquired the estate in 1953, and the property has since grown in stature through careful vineyard expansion and unwavering focus on quality, becoming one of the most admired names in Pomerol and a reference point for refined, ageworthy Merlot-based wines.
