justerini & brooks tasting note

La Fleur Petrus 2024 is initially a little reserved. With aeration a vibrant bouquet emerges, showcasing aromas of cassis, mulberries, and red cherries, intertwined with minerals, graphite, and dark chocolate. On the palate, there is good tension and a notable length of fruit, featuring smart, small berries and notes of graphite. Quite linear and strict, this is a reticent La Fleur Petrus built upon classical lines. If this fleshes out a little during élevage, it will be a very handsome Pomerol.

critic reviews

93-95/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Springs from the glass with vibrant notes of fresh blackberries and kirsch, leading to hints of iron ore, red roses, and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate delivers firm, velvety tannins and a great core of red and black fruit, backed up by a well-knit acidity, finishing long and spicy.

The 2024 La Fleur-Pétrus was picked from September 17 to 28 and aged in 50% new oak. This does not have the amplitude or complexity of the Trotanoy on the nose and it's green around the edges. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced, with supple tannins and a dash of black pepper and tobacco. The finish demonstrates decent weight and character for the vintage. I appreciate the aftertaste here that lingers in the mouth. This is capable!

95/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Gently toasted cedar and sandalwood, violet, lilac, powdery rose, plush fruits, savoury in the spirit of the vintage but with texture and even generosity, and velvety tannins. A great job from La Fleur-Petrus, seriously impressive and one to look out for - my wine of the Moueix stable in 2024. 50% new oak. Harvest 17 to 28 September, no chaptilisation, around 20% down on yield from a usual year.

91-93/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Aromas of creamy dark berries, fruitcake and chocolate introduce the 2024 La Fleur-Petrus, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple wine that's rich and creamy, with good depth at the core and soft structuring tannins.
