Pomerol Protected Designation of Origin and Great Wine
The wines of Chateau La Fleur Petrus
Chateau La Fleur Petrus was bought in 1952 by Etablissement Jean Pierre Moueix. The estate's got its name from its location on the Pomerol plateau (Bordeaux, right bank): it is located between the very famous Chateau Petrus, and Chateau Lafleur. The 6,250 thirty-year-old vine stocks/ha grow on 18.7 hectares of vineyard made of deep and ancient white or clay-gravel soils. Three grape varieties are grown there, following the sustainable winegrowing principles: 91% Merlot, 6 % Cabernet franc, and 3 % Petit Verdot, used to produce only Red Bordeaux wines.

In 1995, the estate acquired a plot from Chateau Le Gay and therefore gained 4 more hectares of old vines, which reinforced its wine's strength...
