Chateau Le Fleur Petrus 2017 from Pomerol shows a deep ruby color with violet highlights suggesting good concentration. On the nose it opens with measured aromas: ripe red fruit, impressions of plum and small berries, alongside floral hints and light forest-floor notes. It is never overpowering, instead showing precision and aromatic clarity, with a balance that suggests a refined, controlled structure. The olfactory persistence remains on elegant, restrained tones.

On the palate it confirms a compact structure, with tannins that are perceptible yet well integrated into the substance, contributing to a sense of solidity without excess. Acidity supports the sip, providing freshness and smoothness; the finish is medium in length, focused on fruity memories and light earthy nuances. Pairs with meat dishes, flavorful roasts and aged cheeses; suitable for those seeking a red of character and restraint. Recommended serving temperature around 16–18 °C.
The winery

Pomerol – Winery in Bordeaux (Libournais, Rive Droite)

Discover the story and wines of Pomerol.

Small, prestigious appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, renowned for its red wines based primarily on Merlot and for soils rich in iron oxides (the so-called "crasse de fer").
Region: Bordeaux (Libournais, Rive Droite)
Country: Francia
Grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec (Pressac), Petit Verdot
Appellation exclusively dedicated to red wines. Predominantly Merlot, often blended with Cabernet Franc. Distinctive soils with "crasse de fer" that influence structure and aroma. A small but highly prestigious appellation with no official classification of crus.
Winery history
Wine region with ancient roots: vineyards have been present since Roman times, with significant development in the Middle Ages through the activity of local religious orders. Pomerol's modern reputation was consolidated between the 19th and 20th centuries; the area has been recognized as a distinct appellation and is included in the AOC regulations established in France.
Production philosophy
Production centered on terroir and on enhancing small parcels: many producers run relatively small estates, favoring practices that prioritize grape quality and the expression of the soil rather than high yields or formal classifications.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Libournais near the River Isle, Pomerol is a plateau with heterogeneous soils: clays mixed with gravel and sand, and a subsoil rich in iron oxides. Its boundaries include the Barbanne stream to the north, and it lies adjacent to Saint-Émilion and Libourne.
