Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2005:
"Made in Pomerol’s quintessentially elegant style, this 2005 reveals pure raspberry and cherry fruit intermixed with spice box, cedar and licorice. With superb purity, medium body, and stunning concentration.” 92-94 Wine Advocate, April 2006
“Extravagant aromas of crushed fruit and flowers. Almost like a young Port. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a soft and silky tannin structure. Very fine.” 92-94 Wine Spectator, March 2006
Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2004:
‘Very attractive chocolate, black olives, berries and even tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, a refined texture and a long, caressing finish. All here.’’ 92 Wine Spectator, March 2007
Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2003:
‘’Aromas of plums with flowers and berries follow through to a full-bodied palate, with round, velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Juicy wine. Sweet fruit.’’ 92 Wine Spectator, April 2002
