La Fleur Petrus Pomerol, 2016

La Fleur-Pétrus 2016 is a refined Pomerol that captures the elegant, Merlot-led style for which the appellation is celebrated. Sourced from one of Bordeaux’s most respected estates, it combines depth, silkiness, and remarkable precision, making it a compelling choice for collectors and serious red-wine lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby core with a polished, vibrant edge. The bouquet opens with black cherry, plum, graphite, violets, and subtle cedar, unfolding into more layered notes of truffle, tobacco, and dark chocolate with air. On the palate, the wine is plush yet beautifully controlled, with fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and a concentrated core of ripe dark fruit. The finish is long and savoury, marked by mineral nuance and a graceful sense of balance. While already impressive, it has the structure and pedigree to age superbly over the next 15 to 20 years, and likely beyond in a good cellar.

Production
La Fleur-Pétrus is located on the gravelly and clay-rich soils of Pomerol, where the terroir is ideally suited to producing concentrated, expressive Merlot-based wines. The 2016 vintage benefited from a warm, balanced growing season that allowed for excellent ripeness and freshness. Harvesting is typically done with great care, often by hand, followed by meticulous selection and precise vinification to preserve purity, texture, and the estate’s signature finesse.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent partner for dishes such as filet of beef, roasted lamb, duck breast, truffled mushrooms, and rich game preparations. It also works beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1 to 2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to fully open.
