The 1996 Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a classic Pomerol wine predominantly blended from Merlot, with a significant proportion of Cabernet Franc. Sourced from vineyards on the Pomerol plateau featuring gravel, clay and iron-rich subsoils, the wine offers a combination of elegance and structure. On the nose and palate, it presents notes of ripe red and dark fruit, such as cherry and plum liqueur, interwoven with tertiary characteristics of truffle, earth, spice and cedar. The vintage conditions resulted in a wine with good depth, superb purity, and an elegant personality that has integrated its firm tannins over time, showcasing a classic balance of power and finesse.

Vinous
Redcurrant, minerals and spice on the nose. Fresh and juicy in the mouth, with cooler, rather muscular flavors of kirsch, minerals, mint and shoe polish. Quite tight today, and not yet showing much fat or personality, but has the structure and guts to develop in bottle. Finishes firmly tannic.Stephen Tanzer1st May 1998
