  • What the experts say...

    Le 1979 est un vin élégant, souple et très fruité, au nez de prune mûre et d'épices, avec des arômes bien marqués de chêne vanillé. D'un rubis relativement foncé, il présente un caractère assez corsé, séveux et heureusement concentré. Il n'est ni corpulent, ni costaud, ni très riche, mais plutôt suave et délicat, et néanmoins fruité et très intéressant. Source : Robert Parker (2/83)

    The wine

    La Fleur Petrus is appreciated for its elegance and supple, suave, silky character. This is a wine with that astonishing mouthfeel so characteristic of Pomerol: an indescribable velvetiness. La Fleur Petrus needs between 10 and 30 years' cellaring before reaching its full potential.
