Tasted from a magnum in Holland, the 1975 La Fleur-Pétrus is a wonderful Pomerol, albeit one that is probably approaching the end of its plateau. Still, there is much to be enjoyed here, from the leather, cranberry and truffle-scented nose whose vigor is undiminished, to the structured and masculine palate that as I have previously observed, is reminiscent of Château Lafleur. It's that good. Drink this marvelous La Fleur-Petrus over the next 4-5 years. Tasted June 2014.<br/><br/>
Producer
Château La Fleur-Pétrus
This historic château is owned by the Jean-Pierre Moueix family. Planted amongst the finest terroirs in all of Pomerol, Château La Fleur-Pétrus has been a model of consistency for over three decades. During the ‘90s and the first decade of the 21st century, the estate was expanded with the addition of a few precious parcels from Pomerol’s central plateau. This evolution was accompanied by the restoration of an elegant country house, which now houses the production facilities at the heart of Pomerol. Today, Château La Fleur-Pétrus produces one of the most elegant, smooth and refined Pomerols in all of Bordeaux. The Grand Vin is a medium-bodied Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend that with several years of cellaring will become very fine, complex and extraordinarily long-lived.
