Chateau La Fleur-Petrus 2009

The 2009 vintage is a legendary, high-scoring release from a year widely considered one of the greatest in the history of the Right Bank. This wine is characterized by its immense power, opulence, and extraordinary concentration. It reveals a decadent bouquet of kirsch, blackberry liqueur, and mocha, seamlessly layered with complex notes of black truffles, incense, and spice box. On the palate, it is full-bodied and lavishly textured, showcasing a massive core of ripe fruit supported by remarkably silky, well-integrated tannins. Despite its richness, it maintains the estate's hallmark elegance and concludes with a monumental, long-lasting finish.

Just across the road from Pétrus, la Fleur-Pétrus shares some of the same intensity. There is great fruit here, rounded and powerful with the ripest character. It is open, generous, ready to drink. The tannins lead into the purest acidity, letting the fruit sing.

95 Points - James Suckling

Brimming with blackberry and sandalwood aromas this is a very seductive 2009. On the palate this is self-confidently dry, sleeker and more linear than the nose suggests. Very firm finish for a Pomerol of this age. Drink or hold.
