The 2019 La Fleur-Pétrus is pure and total seduction. Trotanoy and perhaps also Hosanna have traditionally been viewed as more exclusive Pomerols in the Moueix portfolio. The more time passes the less I share that view. Sure La Fleur-Pétrus does not have the mystique associated from a small single vineyard - as many Pomerols do - and yet there is no denying the elegance and class here. Bright red fleshed fruit blood orange and exotic spice race across the palate framed by silky plush tannins that wrap it all together. La Fleur-Pétrus is fabulous. That's all there is to it. - By Antonio Galloni on January 2022

The 2019 Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a stunning example of what makes a great Pomerol ? richness without weight incredible elegance complexity and length all of which it has in abundance. Giving up darker powerful aromatics of blackcurrants darker cherries tobacco chocolate and just hints of spring flowers it hits the palate with full-bodied richness a layered concentrated incredibly sexy mouthfeel perfect tannins and a great finish. It's one of the most opulent seamless impressive wines in the vintage although it needs at least 7-8 years of bottle age. It should be a 30- to 40-year wine. Bravo! - Jeb Dunnuck 04/22

So much dried-flower black-olive earth and spice character together with dried fruit violets and black licorice. Full yet so fine and linear. It accelerates at the finish going on and on. A classic beauty. So racy. Best after 2028.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The 2019 La Fleur-Pétrus dares to outshine Trotanoy this year wafting from the glass with aromas of rich berry fruit plum preserve dark chocolate cigar box and spices. Full-bodied rich and enveloping it's broad and layered with beautifully polished tannins a ripe core of fruit and a seamless enveloping profile. This is an elegantly muscular generous Pomerol whose sumptuous personality reflects the warm dry vintage.
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
Seriously dark and winey showing a deep core of black currant preserve warmed fig paste and plum reduction flavors inlaid with racy graphite mouthwatering tobacco and enticing singed alder bay leaf and freshly plowed humus. Delivers density grip and definition on the long finish. Merlot Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2040. 2880 cases made 262 cases imported.
The Wine Independent: 95 Points
Composed of 94% Merlot 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot the 2019 La Fleur-Petrus is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with lifted kirsch cedar and black raspberry scents followed by notions of sandalwood preserved plums and chocolate box plus a waft of star anise. The full-bodied palate is jam packed with ripe black fruits framed by firm tannins and just enough freshness finishing long and spicy.
