Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2014 Pomerol (75cl)

A Pomerol red from Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix, from an estate on the Pomerol plateau between Petrus and La Fleur, the first Pomerol purchase made by Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1950. The vineyard covers about 18.7 hectares of gravel and deep clay on iron-rich subsoil, planted with 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The grapes are hand-harvested with manual and optical sorting, fermented in thermo-regulated concrete and stainless-steel vats, and aged 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The owner describes a wine combining elegance with the generosity and structure of great Pomerol, with refinement, complexity and a touch of violet.
