Château La Fleur-Pétrus Tinto

Description

This Pomerol, a legacy of Jean-Pierre Moueix’s discerning eye, is a gloriously understated tribute to the region’s wild terroir. The blend of Merlot, predictably generous, combined with Cabernet Sauvignon planted on gravelly soils, delivers a truly substantial structure – worthy of its illustrious neighbours. A touch of Petit Verdot, used sparingly, provides a warming counterpoint to the wine’s impressive complexity. It’s a wonderfully enigmatic wine, evoking violet nuances that unfold with time, and would be superb with a hearty cut of beef.
