Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2019 - 1.5 Litre Bottle

98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Chateau La Fleur-Petrus is a stunning example of what makes a great Pomerol – richness without weight, incredible elegance, complexity, and length, all of which it has in abundance. Giving up darker, powerful aromatics of blackcurrants, darker cherries, tobacco, chocolate, and just hints of spring flowers, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, concentrated, incredibly sexy mouthfeel, perfect tannins, and an excellent finish. It's one of the most opulent, seamless, impressive wines in the vintage, although it needs at least 7-8 years of bottle age. It should be a 30- to 40-year wine. Bravo!

96+ Points - James Suckling

This is a genuine, old-school Pomerol with blueberries, wet earth and black tea leaf. It's full-bodied yet balanced and beautiful. Traditional and so attractive with a modern tone.

95+ Points - Wine Enthusiast

Dark, dense and full of tannins, this is a powerful wine. The concentration in this wine gives it a dry, structured character, but the richness of the blackberry fruits and streak of acidity is likely to kick in attractively as it ages.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2019 La Fleur-Petrus dares to outshine Trotanoy this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of rich berry fruit, plum preserve, dark chocolate, cigar box and spices. Full-bodied, rich and enveloping, it's broad and layered, with beautifully polished tannins, a ripe core of fruit and a seamless, enveloping profile. This is an elegantly muscular, generous Pomerol whose sumptuous personality reflects the warm, dry vintage. 

96 Points - Wine Spectator

Seriously dark and winey, showing a deep core of black currant preserve, warmed fig paste, and plum reduction flavours inlaid with racy graphite, mouthwatering tobacco and enticing singed alder, bay leaf and freshly plowed humus. Delivers density, grip and definition on the long finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
