Product Description
JD100 "The 2020 Château La Fleur-Petrus is a sensational, powerful Pomerol that brings serious depth and richness. Displaying a deep, inky color, it offers a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, smoky oak, graphite, chocolate, and truffle. Full-bodied, concentrated, and pure on the palate, it delivers remarkable intensity while maintaining a seamless, elegant mouthfeel. The tannins are perfectly ripe and well-integrated, and it has a finish that won't quit. This magnificent effort from the team at La Fleur-Petrus will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and cruise for 30+ years. Drink 2029-2059. (Drink between 2029-2059)" JD Jun 2025
JS100 "One of the most powerful and significant La Fleur-Petrus I have ever tasted with incredible depth and power. It’s full and so layered with fine and intense tannins. It shows very dark fruits, dark chocolate with hazelnuts, and milk chocolate with almonds. This will age for eternity." Mar 2023
LP99 "A blend of 93% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2020 La Fleur-Petrus has a deep garnet-purple color. It is quite closed to start, soon unfurling to offer glimpses of notes of redcurrant jelly, fresh black cherries, and juicy blueberries, followed by touches of red roses, wood smoke, and crushed rocks, plus a hint of dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and chock-full of rich, decadently fragrant black fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a mineral lift. A stunning wine - bravo!" LPB for TWI Mar 2023
DR99 "Sumptuous and stylish, this, like many of the best in 2020, is quietly confident showing just enough structure and seriousness while still being joyous and sensual. Blueberries, pomegranates and raspberries comprise the clear and crystalline fruit with cooling minty freshness alongside touches of dark chocolate and licks of medicinal and exotic spices. Tannins are supple and just chewy, giving the perfect weight to the palate with a wet stone aspect to the long finish. Totally moreish, I adore this wine. (Drink between 2028-2050)" GH for DR Jan 2023
