AboutChâteau La Fleur-Pétrus
Château La Fleur-Pétrus was named in the eighteenth century for its position across the Pomerol localities of Petrus and La Fleur. Jean-Pierre Moueix acquired it in 1950, the first vineyard purchase made by the Libourne house he had founded in 1937.
Its 18.7 hectares lie on the Pomerol plateau, where gravel and deep clay cover an iron-rich subsoil. Merlot dominates the vineyard, with smaller plantings of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot matched to the different soils.

The palate is supple and composed, with mature fruit, savoury earth and tertiary complexity held in careful balance. Silky texture brings depth without heaviness, while retained vitality carries the floral, gently spiced finish.
