The 2015 vintage is a monumental expression for this estate, benefiting from a near-perfect growing season on the Pomerol plateau. It is a deeply concentrated and opulent wine, characterized by a strikingly aromatic profile of black raspberry, crushed plum, and dried flowers. On the palate, it is full-bodied and multi-layered, showing immense depth of fruit balanced by a sophisticated mineral tension and ripe, architectural tannins. This vintage is noted for its exceptional harmony between power and elegance, possessing the structural integrity for decades of cellar aging.
99 Points - James Suckling
The aromas to this are stunning with lavender, rose petals, walnut skin, strawberries and raspberries. Captivating. Full body, layers of polished tannins and perfectly ripe fruit. Dense and very long. Breathtaking classicism. Try in 2021 and onwards.
96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 92% Merlot, 7.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Petit Verdot, the 2015 la Fleur-Petrus is a little reticent on the nose to begin, offering up beguiling notes of tilled soil, black olives, charcuterie and dried Provence herbs over a core of preserved plums, black cherries and black raspberries with touches of tar and new leather. Full-bodied, rich, plush and seductive in the mouth, it finishes with persistent, slowly revealing earthy/savory layers, which will keep you reaching for another glass.
95 Points - Wine Spectator
Warm ganache, fig bread and blackberry compote notes give this a fleshy feel. Loam and warm espresso details glide underneath, further accentuating the dark profile. Shows ample drive and energy, with graphite and roasted alder elements and fresh acidity coursing through. Serious juice. Best from 2025 through 2040.
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Big tannins and superripe fruit give this wine its powerful character. Acidity, black fruits and a rich structure add to the sense of power. The wine is rich, showing lush fruits as well as the tannin. It needs some serious aging. Drink from 2027.
