Chateau La Fleur-Petrus 2016

The 2016 vintage is a classic masterpiece for the estate, characterized by incredible precision, depth, and aromatic complexity. Born from a growing season of dramatic shifts—a wet spring followed by a hot, dry summer and a perfect autumn—this wine displays an intense bouquet of black raspberries, red currants, and violets, underpinned by notes of damp earth and crushed stone. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied and remarkably vibrant, with a seamless core of fruit framed by ultra-fine, pixelated tannins and a persistent saline minerality. It is considered one of the most sophisticated and long-lived vintages ever produced at the property.
