Description
The vineyards of La Fleur-Pétrus lie in three sectors, all on the central Pomerol plateau. Partly they are close to Pétrus itself, partly they are from adjoining land, planted mainly with old Merlots, which was acquired in the mid-1990s. During the 2000s and in 2001, further vines were purchased, lying around Château Hosanna and between Trotanoy and Le Pin. 95% Merlot, with 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot make up the blend in 2021. This is the deepest-coloured wine of the Moueix family`s range, with its nose recalling lively, black cherries, freshly fragrant. Palate is rich and broadly built, with exceptional fruit intensity, luscious texture and lovely length. It is undoubtedly one of the most complete, perfectly harmonious wines of the vintage (for drinking 2028-2040+).

Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix
The family firm of Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix own many of the finest châteaux on Pomerol’s central plateau as well as Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Bélair-Monange in Saint-Émilion. In addition, they manage the vineyards of several other Right Bank châteaux, helping them to produce wines of outstanding harmony, beauty and elegance. Christian Moueix has been the guiding light of the family’s progress since his first vintage in 1971. His son Edouard is now taking over, aided by a brilliant team in vineyard and cellar. Our history with the Moueix family goes back to 1970, when Nick Clark and Anthony Hanson MW first started our business with them. We have been shipping from them uninterruptedly since then.
Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix belongs to classical school of wine making. Their aim is to produce wines which are fully ripe, yet lively, with all elements subtly integrated and with great length of flavour. These wines have the ability to gain smoothness, complexity and silkiness as they mature.
