Wir haben die Fassmusterverkostungen für Sie in einem Zusatzfeld zusammengefasst.

There’s a slightly smoky edge to the nose with a wealth of ripe dark and red plums. as well as violets. blueberries and wet earth. The palate is very plush and smoothly arranged with a very attractive weave of ripe. supple tannin and a long. fresh and fleshy hold on the finish. The tannins are discreet but deceptively long here. It builds. Try from 2023.

The 2017 Lafleur-Petrus is elegant. polished and wonderfully refined from start to finish. Everything just falls into place effortlessly. Aromatic. sculpted fruit gives the 2017 its sense of regal beauty and total finesse. Beautifully lifted and precise. it is framed by gentle. silky tannins. Small red berries. mint. blood orange. spice and licorice develop in the glass. but it is the wine's cashmere-like softness that impresses most. In 2017 Lafleur-Petrus is a real standout.

A blend of 93% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 la Fleur-Petrus is a little youthfully reticent to begin. opening to offer glimpses at kirsch. black raspberries and warm plums plus nuances of potpourri. powdered cinnamon. dusty soil and dried lavender. Medium-bodied. the palate is finely knit and elegant with a firm frame of grainy tannins and fantastic freshness. finishing long and mineral laced.

A final blend of 91% Merlot. 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. the very deep garnet-purple colored 2017 la Fleur-Petrus has quite an earthy nose. sporting notions of black soil. mossy bark and truffles over a core of cassis. mulberries and plum preserves plus hints of espresso. anise and peppercorns. Medium to full-bodied. firm. grainy and with great freshness. the sturdy frame supports generous black and blue fruits with earthy accents and fantastic length.

This rolls over the palate with dark berries. dark chocolate and hints of cedar. Medium to full body. tight tannins and a lovely tension. Shows finesse and beauty.

The 2017 La Fleur-Pétrus has the most expressive and flamboyant bouquet from the J-P Moueix range and I can see why Edouard Moueix is smitten by its early showings. There is a mélange of red and black fruit. crushed violet and a distant tang of the sea (or should that be the Dordogne river?) The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannin. quite rich of the vintage but not overpowering or glossy. delivering a velvety smooth second-half that caresses the senses and leaves you utterly beguiled. If am to quibble. it just misses a little complexity and nuance on the finish but otherwise...très bon vin.

Mittel plus bis voll. Sehr definierte und komplexe Nase. dennoch sticht keine Nuance hervor. ist das die eigentliche Komplexität ? Er besitzt herrlich Beerennuancen. ein wenig geröstete Nüsse. und schokolade. Am Gaumen extrem kraftvoll. mit toller süsslicher Frucht und Extrakt. Griffiges Tannin. sehr strukturiert und von grosser Länge und Intensität. 96-97+
