Falstaff
Deep dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, aromas of fine cherry fruit, sweet plum, a touch of nougat, pleasant herbal spices, and fine oak in the background. The palate is firm with a salty-mineral texture, fleshy fruit, and fine freshness, with red berry fruit on the persistent finish which shows great finesse. Certain ageing potential.

Awesome aromatics of black cherries, saddle leather, savory flowers, and incense emerge from the 2022 Château La Fleur-Petrus, another riveting wine in the vintage that brings incredible intensity while at the same time staying elegant, seamless, and flawlessly balanced. A blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, this full-bodied, seamless Pomerol has fine yet building tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It picks up more and more classic La Fleur Petrus floral and spicy nuances with time in the glass, and it will have three decades of prime drinking ahead of it. It will be fun to compare this with the 2020 over the coming decades.

Already showcasing its stunning display of flowers, truffles, wild cherries, licorice, chocolate, and plums in the nose, it’s clear this will be a showstopper. Texturally, the sensuous palate, with its waves of velvet-covered fruits, steals the spotlight. The perfectly ripe, deep fruits offer length, lift, and complexity, with a lingering finish that keeps you wanting more. The wine blends 96.5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and .05 Petit Verdot. Drink from 2027-2055
Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW: 98 Points
The 2022 La Fleur-Petrus is composed of 96.5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose is completely locked-down to start, needing a lot of shaking to wake up profound notes of Morello cherries, fresh black plums, and boysenberry preserves, giving way to graceful waves of iron ore and iris scents with a touch of wood smoke. the full-bodied palate is an exercise in finesse, featuring beautifully ripe, silt-like tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and minerally. Impressive wine, yet it will require some patient cellaring.

This is nicely loaded, with warmed raspberry compote, boysenberry pâte de fruit and damson plum coulis notes in the mix, along with streaks of tobacco leaf, chestnut leaf and graphite. The long finish shows a great underlying tug of warm earth. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2042.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2022 La Fleur-Pétrus is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Sweet floral and spice notes lift a core of ripe red-toned fruit. The 2022 offers a gorgeous combination of finesse and opulence, but still in the mid-weight style that is such a signature here.
The 2022 La Fleur-Pétrus is a heady, explosive wine that very much reflects the personality of the year. Inky dark fruit, truffle, cloves, licorice and blood orange are some of the many notes that infuse the palate with tremendous depth all around. A light exotic touch informs the long finish. The 2022 is very much an extrovert. There's no doubt about it. This is a very complete and delicious Pomerol from the Moueix family.
Wine Advocate
The high point of the Mouiex portfolio this year is the beautiful 2022 La Fleur-Pétrus, a wine that derives from a number of prime clay-gravel parcels on Pomerol's plateau. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis and cherries mingled with hints of orange zest, pencil shavings and toasty oak, it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and fleshy, with an ample core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, perfumed finish. Seamless and complete, it will offer a broad drinking window.
