Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2009 Pomerol《ZTF307A》

Located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France, Château La Fleur Petrus sits between Château Lafleur and Château Petrus, hence the name "Petrus Fleur." Boasting exceptional terroir, it produces wines of refinement, elegance, and complexity, considered a paragon of Pomerol.

With a history dating back to the 18th century, Château La Fleur Petrus boasts a rich wine heritage. In 1950, the estate was acquired by Jean-Pierre Moueix, who owned a wine trading company specializing in distributing premium wines from Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. Château La Fleur de Petrus was his first acquisition, followed by other prestigious properties such as Château Magdelaine and Château Trotanoy. Thanks to the efforts of Jean-Pierre and his descendants, the Moueix family has become one of Bordeaux's most influential wine families, owning several châteaux and considered a pioneer in the rise of France's Pomerol and Saint-Émilion appellations. This prestigious Pomerol estate remains under the Moueix family's stewardship, meticulously crafting each wine.

The vineyards of Château La Fleur de Petrus are situated on the prestigious Pomerol Plateau, enjoying exceptional terroir. The vineyards cover 18.7 hectares, with a predominance of deep clay and gravel soils, rich in iron. The winery's team has divided the vineyard into three major plots: the northern plot, with its more pebbled surface, produces wines with a delicate and elegant flavor; the central plot, with its hotter summers, produces exceptionally smooth wines; and the southern plot, with its velvety, rich, and structured wines. Adapting to the local conditions, the winery's team has planted 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot.
