Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2018 – 99-Point Bordeaux Red Blend from Pomerol

Pomerol Power in a Silk Robe

Pomerol, Bordeaux 🇫🇷 | 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot | 99 pts James Suckling | Bold, Polished, Built to Last

Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2018 isn’t just elegant — it’s a beast in velvet. This Pomerol icon blends Merlot's plush power, Cabernet Franc’s tension, and Petit Verdot’s dark spice into a bottle so precise it could cut glass. With a near-perfect 99-point score from James Suckling, this wine is structure, strength, and luxury all rolled into one.

Born on the storied plateau between Pétrus and La Fleur, this wine’s address alone is a flex. Add in 30-year-old vines, oak aging in 50% new barrels, and winemaking under the legendary Moueix family? You’ve got a bottle that doesn’t just drink — it dominates.

🍷 What It Tastes Like:

• Color: Deep garnet with a ruby halo — like a Bordeaux jewel glinting under candlelight.

• Nose: Layers of ripe blackberry, licorice, clove, pine, walnut husk, and a sexy wisp of smoke.

• Palate: Full-bodied and firm, unfolding in chewy waves of dark chocolate, espresso, and graphite precision.

• Finish: Long. Muscular. Polished. A lingering note of dark minerality and black spice that just won’t quit.

🍽 Pair It With:

• Meat, but Make It Luxe: Ribeye, lamb chops, or crispy roasted duck. Don’t hold back.

• Cheese Worthy of the Cellar: Aged Comté, cave-aged blue, or nutty, salty Gouda.

• Decadent Veg Moves: Truffle polenta, wild mushroom risotto, or eggplant soaked in balsamic dreams.
