La Fleur-Pétrus 2001 is a full-bodied, Maerlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a renowned estate in Pomerol, owned by Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1952. Situated near Château Pétrus and Château Lafleur, it enjoys an excellent location in the eastern part of Pomerol. On the 2001 grand vin. "This saturated deep purple-colored 2001 exhibits terrific fruit on the attack (currants, sweet cherries, dried herbs, and grilled nuts), medium body, fine density, velvety tannin, and a plump, concentrated personality. The tannin is well-integrated in this precocious, forward 2001. Drink it over the next 10-12 years." Robert Parker, 2004

The 2001 La Fleur-Pétrus is much more cohesive on the nose compared to the Hosanna, offering red berry fruit, antique furniture, truffle oil and clove. There is a touch of rusticity, but it is wonderfully cohesive. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, a splash of soy on the entry, moderate weight and gentle grip toward the tarry finish. Very fine. I would drink this over the next decade. - Neil Martin
