Description

The bouquet of the 1999 La Fleur Petrus unveils a melange of truffles and soaked cherries, nestled amidst an earthy undertone that so characterises the Pomerol terroir. These features are attributable to the unique blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, precisely cultivated on the esteemed estate’s revered gravel and clay soils.Balanced by the climatic generosity of 1999, this vintage emerges as a pinnacle of harmony between concentration and poise. In Bordeaux, particularly Pomerol, this was a year less feted than its immediate predecessors but has quietly ascended to an elevated status.

*** 90-92 points Wine Journal ***
"A touch on mint-leaf on the super-smooth nose. The palate has a soft-entry, lots of glycerin with silky smooth tannins. Good acidity with svelte black tarry fruits. Very focused with fine lush finish. I don't know whether this is a long-term wine but it is gorgeous to drink now. Tasted November 2003." Neil Martin Wine Journal
