Critical Acclaim

98 James Suckling

Fresh and clean with hazelnut, chocolate and berry character. Truffles too. Full body, with silky tannins and a tangy finish. I like the balance and finesse to this young Lafleur Petrus. So refined and beautiful.

98 Wine Advocate

The 2010 La Fleur-Ptrus is a striking wine that is beginning to show brilliantly today. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berry and cherry fruit mingled with black truffles, baking chocolate, loamy soil and subtle hints of cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it’s rich and layered, with an elegantly muscular profile and a long, resonant finish. This is a dramatic, sensual and beautifully balanced wine that represents the essence of Pomerol.

98 Wine Spectator

The most fun in Bordeaux these days is getting a ’10 and ’09 side by side. This has the fruit to match its older counterpart, though it’s a shade darker, with anise, plum, blackberry and black currant notes stitched together, while the charcoal and graphite structure is more evident but just as integrated. Remarkably dense, but without any sense of brooding or unnecessary muscle, this is about as finely tuned as a wine can be.

95 Wine Enthusiast

A majestic wine, grand in every sense. It has weight, the firmest of tannins and an immense sense of structure. This neighbor of Chteau Ptrus is firmly dense, showing both the fruits and the tannins in balance.

93 Vinous

The 2010 La Fleur-Ptrus has an outgoing and relatively flamboyant bouquet with vibrant red fruit, iron filings, truffle and pressed flower aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, lightly spiced with sage and just a very faint onion skin note. Nicely balanced and quite persistent, there is fine cohesion towards the finish and a persistent, peppery aftertaste. Excellent.
