Producer

The Château La Fleur-Pétrus vineyard stretches across clay and gravelly soils, typical of the Pomerol appellation. These well-drained soils encourage the development of deep roots, allowing the vines to draw the necessary nutrients. The region's oceanic climate, with hot summers and mild winters, contributes to the optimal ripening of the grapes. Each plot is cultivated with care, respecting the rhythm of nature, to produce grapes of the highest quality.

The owners, committed to passing on their expertise, are dedicated to respecting the environment while producing exceptional wines. Their commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in every bottle, making La Fleur-Pétrus a symbol of Pomerol's winemaking excellence.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a meticulous art, combining tradition and innovation. The grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring rigorous selection. After delicate destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for optimal temperature management. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, to enrich the wine with woody nuances without masking its terroir. This winemaking process aims to create an elegant, complex wine that reflects the estate's identity.

The team's opinion

A refined and velvety Pomerol, where truffle, dark fruits and noble oak unite with great elegance.
