A FIRST - EXPECTED SPRING 2028
The 2025 Château La Fleur-Pétrus undoubtedly ranks among the absolute highlights of Pomerol. In a vintage that was not equally easy everywhere, La Fleur-Pétrus succeeds in combining power, finesse, and precision in an exceptional manner. The wine possesses the depth and concentration characteristic of great Pomerol, yet simultaneously distinguishes itself through its elegance, refined structure, and remarkable energy.
Winery Château La Fleur-Pétrus
Château La Fleur-Pétrus belongs to the prestigious Moueix family, responsible for some of Pomerol's most iconic wines, including Pétrus, Trotanoy, and Hosanna. The estate is situated in an exceptional location between Pétrus and Lafleur and benefits from a terroir known for its combination of gravel, clay, and ferrous soils. The style of La Fleur-Pétrus is characterized by elegance, precision, and a refined expression of Merlot. More information about this winery can be found under the Winery tab.
The wine and blend
The 2025 consists of 97% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. The dominant role of Merlot provides the velvety texture and layered fruit expression, while the small addition of Petit Verdot gives extra structure, freshness, and aromatic depth.
Vineyard, terroir and vintage
La Fleur-Pétrus benefits from one of the most sought-after terroirs in Pomerol. The combination of deep clay layers and gravelly plots creates an ideal balance between concentration, ripeness, and freshness. In the warm and dry 2025 vintage, the old vines managed to draw upon sufficient water reserves, allowing the grapes to retain their aromatic freshness and refinement.
It is precisely in this vintage that La Fleur-Pétrus distinguishes itself through its elegance. Where some wines from Pomerol primarily display power, this wine combines impressive concentration with refined tension, floral nuances, and remarkable precision.
Vinification and aging
The vinification is entirely focused on preserving purity and terroir expression. Through careful extraction, the tannins remain refined and polished, while the natural concentration of the vintage is fully preserved. Aging supports the structure without overpowering the finesse of the fruit.
Color, smell and taste
Deep ruby red in color. The nose opens with aromas of black blackberries, dark cherries, and ripe plums, followed by rose petals, blood orange, mint, exotic spices, and a subtle touch of black truffle. The aromatic precision and purity are impressive.
On the palate, the wine displays an exceptional balance between power and refinement. The texture is silky and layered, with a core of dark fruit supported by perfectly integrated tannins. The wine possesses remarkable linearity and energy, where the tannins are barely noticeable due to the purity of the fruit. Floral accents, minerality, and a subtle spiciness provide additional complexity. The finish is long, intense, and impressively precise.
Summary of professional reviews
The 2025 Château La Fleur-Pétrus is among the highest-rated wines of the vintage. James Suckling awards 99-100 points and describes it as a wine of exceptional purity, energy, and intensity, where the tannins blend completely with the fruit. William Kelley (The Wine Advocate, 94-96 points) calls La Fleur-Pétrus, along with Trotanoy, one of the most impressive and powerful wines within the Moueix portfolio. Antonio Galloni (94-96 points) emphasizes the finesse and elegance the wine displays in a warm vintage, with notes of rose petals, blood orange, and exotic spices. The combination of power, precision, and refinement makes this one of the most complete Pomerols of 2025.

Along with Trotanoy, the 2025 La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the more powerful, massive wines in the Mouiex portfolio this year. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet dark fruits, black truffle and a deft touch of new oak, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with ripe, polished tannins despite its power, good energy and a seamless, integrated profile.

Aromas of al dente fruit, blackberries and a hint of mint. Medium- to full-bodied with firm and linear tannins that are polished and caressing. Persistent finish of dark, brooding fruit. You don’t really see the tannins, just the purity of fruit. Energetic and intense at the end. 97% merlot and 3% petit verdot.

From: Hot Body, Cold Blood: 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur (May 2026)
The 2025 La Fleur-Pétrus was picked September 1 to 19 and matured in 50% new oak. This was another sample that demanded aeration to remove a bit of reduction on the nose. Enticing raspberry, wild strawberry and touches of leather unfurl on the nose, certainly on the more elegant side. The palate is well balanced, with lithe tannins, well judged acidity, very harmonious, with an almost "sleek" finish that just glides. Very seductive Pomerol in the making.
- By Neal Martin on May 2026
Edouard Moueix explained the conditions and factors that shaped the 2025 growing season: “Access to water made all the difference. We had the same weather in Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, and at the end of July/early August, the clay in Pomerol was really important. Young vines on gravel suffered, which is why there is no La Grave this year. Limestone made a huge difference—you could see the difference in the leaves’ colour. The sandy soils in Pomerol suffered more, so essentially, the less clay, the more difficulty you had. It was a vintage of storms. In August, there was a huge storm in the northern Médoc, but there was nothing here. In Pomerol, we were saved by 27 mm of rain one late morning at the end of August. This visibly changed the vineyard, accelerating ripeness. It was an easy picking.”

From: 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur: Le Freak (Apr 2026)
The 2025 La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the few wines in Pomerol that shows a certain finesse in this very hot, dry year. Rose petal, macerated cherry, blood orange and exotic spice are all beautifully knit together. Medium in body, with gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and fine balance, La Fleur-Pétrus has a lot to offer. Floral overtones reappear to brighten the finish.

Château La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the most renowned vineyards of Pomerol. This historic estate, located exclusively on the plateau, was named in the 18th century because of its location opposite the towns of 'Petrus' and 'La Fleur'. Based in Libourne since 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix noticed early on the excellent quality of the Pomerol appellation. Château La Fleur-Pétrus was his very first acquisition in 1950. Shortly afterwards, he bought Château Trotanoy in 1953.
The personality of Château La Fleur-Pétrus lies in the careful association of the famous gravel and clay terroirs of the Pomerol plateau. Located 33 to 38 meters above sea level, the vineyard derives its identity from the nuances of the soil and the height of each plot. The plots dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense and structured.
Château La Fleur-Pétrus consists mainly of Merlot, which gives the wine softness and generosity. Cabernet Franc, planted on gravel and fine clay, provides rigor and complexity, while a small percentage of Petit Verdot, planted on fine gravel, gives a touch of spice to the finish.
The wine combines a unique elegance with the generosity and structure typical of the great vineyards of Pomerol. An attentive tasting reveals remarkable refinement, complexity and a hint of violet.
The owner of this domain is the Moueix family. Jean-Pierre Moueix was born in Correze in 1913 and moved with his parents to Saint-Émilion after the Great Depression of 1929. At the time, the wines of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion were not yet widely recognised. A visionary, Jean-Pierre Moueix envisioned great potential both in the Merlot grape and in its ability to mature when grown in the best terroirs of its adopted region. In 1950, he began to expand his trading activities with the purchase of several well-known vineyards, starting with Château La Fleur-Pétrus in Pomerol, followed by Château Magdelaine, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, in 1952, and Château Trotanoy, Pomerol, in 1953. Over the next four decades, he continued to successfully develop the wine merchant and the production elements of the company simultaneously.
The pinnacle of his career was the acquisition of Château Petrus. He entrusted the care to his son Christian. Jean-François Moueix, his eldest son, inherited the property and took over the management in 2009 so here is also the reference to Petrus so in fact one son got Chateau Petrus and Jean-pierre's other son the other domains such as La Fleur and Trotanoy .
