Now La Fleur-Petrus has swallowed Château Guillot, I thought it pertinent to ask Edouard Moueix exactly how it is contributing to the blend. Edouard told me that around 75% of its vines are currently being blended into La Fleur Petrus, but that the vines surrounding the house suffered severemillerandage and was not used. The La Fleur-Petrus has an elegant bouquet with cranberry, crushed strawberry and mineral tones. It is a little more flamboyant than the Latour-à-Pomerol and yet it never "lets go" completely. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a fine line of acidity and a lovely spiciness towards the slightly austere finish. With good structure, this classic Pomerol should give pleasure over the next 10 to 15 years. Tasted April 2014.

Score: 90-92 Robert Parker (RP), The Wine Advocate (WA), May 2014

Aromas of fresh flowers, plum and hints of currants. Full body, firm with silky tannins and a bright finish. Crisp and clean. Touch of class. Drink in 2018.

The 2013 La Fleur Petrus is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and offers a more enticing bouquet than the Latour-à-Pomerol at this early stage, more depth of fruit on the nose thanks to that pure Merlot: small red cherries, crushed strawberry and just a hint of iodine. The palate is sweet on the entry with crushed red berries, sea salt, bay leaf and a pinch of black pepper. This is well balanced and with more rondeur than the comparatively masculine Latour-à-Pomerol, suave on the finish even if it does not bestow the same complexity as other vintages from this Pomerol estate. Give it just another year in bottle and then it should give 12-15 years drinking pleasure, possibly more.

One of the true stand outs of the vintage, the 2013 La Fleur-Pétrus is superb. Graphite, violets, lavender, savory herbs, smoke and purplish fruit all meld together in a wine of incomparable grace. The La Fleur-Pétrus impresses for its textural elegance, volume and sheer class. It is without question one of the wines of the year. These pebbly, well-draining soils handled the vintage as well as could have been expected.

Score: 91-94 Antonio Galloni (AG), Vinous Media (VM), April 2014

The 2013 La Fleur-Pétrus o!ers light brambly red fruit commingling with tobacco and dried leaves, missing fruit concentration though no greenness is evident. The palate is medium-bodied with light but pliant tannins. Pretty blackberry and raspberry fruit mix with black pepper, clove and meat juices. It has a nice savory finish. This will drink well over the next four to five years. Tasted at Bordeaux Index´s 10-Year On tasting.
