The finest vintage from this address I've ever tasted as well as a perfect wine the 2020 Château La Fleur-Petrus reveals a dense purple hue to go with a deep layered full-bodied yet flawlessly balanced style carrying a smorgasbord-like array of red and black fruits chocolate dried flowers spicy oak and damp earth. It's not a powerhouse in the style of Trotanoy Vieux Château Certain or say Clinet but is all about finesse elegance and complexity. This magical Pomerol will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and cruise for 20-30 years in cold cellars.
James Suckling: 100 Points
One of the most powerful and significant La Fleur-Petrus I have ever tasted with incredible depth and power. It?s full and so layered with fine and intense tannins. It shows very dark fruits dark chocolate with hazelnuts and milk chocolate with almonds. This will age for eternity.

A blend of 93% Merlot 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot the 2020 La Fleur-Petrus has a deep garnet-purple color. It is quite closed to start soon unfurling to offer glimpses of notes of redcurrant jelly fresh black cherries and juicy blueberries followed by touches of red roses wood smoke and crushed rocks plus a hint of dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and chock-full of rich decadently fragrant black fruits supported by fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness finishing long with a mineral lift. A stunning wine - bravo!

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of minty blackberries loamy soil black truffles and petroleum jelly the 2020 La Fleur-Pétrus is full-bodied ample and enveloping with a rich layered core of fruit framed by supple polished tannins concluding with a broad licorice-inflected finish. As in 2019 it outshines Trotanoy as the star of the Mouiex Pomerol portfolio.

The 2020 La Fleur-Pétrus is quite simply a class act. It delivers a compelling bouquet with black fruit crushed stone iris flower light sea spray scents freshly tilled loam. Wonderful precision. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-sculpted tannins a perfectly-judged line of acidity discretely building towards a mineral-rich finish. I can see this just closing down for a period so keep a cellar handy.
