La Fleur-Pétrus 2008 is a Bordeaux red wine from Pomerol, presented in magnum format. In contrast to the hedonistic 2009, 2008 provided a cooler growing season that resulted in a wine of greater aromatic height and mineral focus. The profile exhibits notes of red cherries, violets and graphite with a palate that is notably precise and energetic. Maturation in French oak has added layers of sandalwood and tobacco that are well-integrated with the wine’s lean, muscular frame. The magnum format has ensured the preservation of the vintage’s signature freshness and structural tension. This bottling highlights the elegance and transparency of the site, offering a sophisticated and age-worthy expression of Pomerol.

The 2008 La Fleur-Pétrus has a floral bouquet with pressed rose petal and iris scents embroidered into the blackberry and raspberry fruit, hints of truffle emerging with time. I love the delineation and freshness here. The palate is ripe and concentrated on the entry with layers of ripe redcurrant, cranberry jus and white pepper. There is real density to this La Fleur-Pétrus – one of the hidden gems of the vintage? (Tasted at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual 10-Year On tasting.)Neal Martin1st February 2018

A J P Moueix wine.Mid as opposed to deep crimson. Very rich, then peppery on the nose. Limpid sweetness with powerful liquorice and real appeal. Very visceral in its appeal. Great richness. This one lets itself go – not a stitch of corsetry in sight. Very seductive. (JR)
