Chateau La Fleur Petrus 1996

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (89)

This property has come of age with the acquisition of Le Gay's old vine parcel. It is now consistently one of the finest wines of the appellation, and clearly merits is famous name. The 1996 may deserve an outstanding score with a year or two of bottle age. It boasts an impressively saturated ruby/purple color, as well as a pure, sweet nose of cherries, plum liqueur, spicy oak, and floral scents. The wine possesses excellent depth, medium body, superb purity, and an overall elegant personality offering a combination of power and finesse.

Winespectator (87)

Aromas of green olive and berries follow though to a medium-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Berry, tobacco and light chocolate aftertaste.
