Pomerol La Fleur Petrus 2013 75 cl

Description

La Fleur Petrus Pomerol 2013 is a great red wine with complex aromas of black fruits, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, it offers an intense and elegant taste experience. Flavors of blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum dominate, providing a sense of fruitiness and depth. Each sip reveals nuances of leather, tobacco, and cedar, with a subtle hint of undergrowth that perfectly balances the fruity and spicy aromas. The tannic structure is firm yet well-integrated, with a long, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression.

This wine is made primarily from the Merlot grape variety, emblematic of the Pomerol region. Merlot is renowned for its roundness and ability to express the nuances of the terroir. The old vines, several decades old, contribute to the wine's complexity and depth. Grown on clay and gravel soils, they benefit from optimal sunshine and a favorable microclimate.

The Pomerol terroir, located on the right bank of the Gironde River, is characterized by its clay and gravel soils and its oceanic climate. The vines benefit from ideal exposure, allowing for optimal grape ripening.
