The 2022 La Fleur-Pétrus is a heady, explosive wine that very much reflects the personality of the year. Inky dark fruit, truffle, cloves, licorice and blood orange are some of the many notes that infuse the palate with tremendous depth all around. A light exotic touch informs the long finish. The 2022 is very much an extrovert. There's no doubt about it. This is a very complete and delicious Pomerol from the Moueix family. 01/2025

The 2022 La Fleur-Pétrus has improved since I tasted it from barrel. The aromatics have gained delineation and focus, revealing blackberry, bilberry, truffle and hints of brown spices with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and beautiful balance, offering a sense of symmetry and poise. Superb precision and more complexity than the 2022 Hosanna make this La Fleur-Pétrus an enticing proposition. One of the best from J-P Moueix this vintage. 01/2025

In bottle, the 2022 La Fleur-Pétrus is broad and unctuous, offering up aromas of Agen prunes, dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of sweet spices, licorice and raisin fruitcake. Full-bodied, rich and chocolaty, it's ripe and heady, with an ample core of fruit and a sweet, lingering finish. The warmth and sunshine of the vintage is on full display. 03/2025

Awesome aromatics of black cherries, saddle leather, savory flowers, and incense emerge from the 2022 Château La Fleur-Petrus, another riveting wine in the vintage that brings incredible intensity while at the same time staying elegant, seamless, and flawlessly balanced. A blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, this full-bodied, seamless Pomerol has fine yet building tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It picks up more and more classic La Fleur Petrus floral and spicy nuances with time in the glass, and it will have three decades of prime drinking ahead of it. It will be fun to compare this with the 2020 over the coming decades. 02/2025

Couleur intense et très sombre. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil et complexe. Nuances crémeuses, touches d'écorce d'orange et truffe. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, velouté et riche au milieu, le vin se développe à la fois volumineux et fondant, extrêmement aromatique. Très longue finale complexe, sans aucune perte de gras. C'est long, profond, dynamique et magnifique. 02/2025

A very opulent and extravagant red with dark plums, spices and lifted cedar. The palate is full-bodied yet very tight with endless tannins that are integrated and polished, bringing form and verve to this young wine. 96.5% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 0.5% petit verdot. Try after 2030. 01/2025
