The wine was a little closed when I tasted it, but I want to remind readers that I forgot to include the 2011 La Fleur Morange in my review of that vintage in Issue #212 and it is a real winner. It is a stunning example of the vintage and quite drinkable and showy at present. The 2011 is the same blend as the 2013.Inc. TAX€1,021.16 -
Indulge your palate with 'La Fleur Morange 2020', a compelling Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from the Bordeaux region of France. Made from 100% Merlot grapes, revered winemakers Véronique and Jean-François Despagne masterfully cultivate the La Fleur Morange vineyard's century-old vines. The couple hand-harvests the grapes, conducting an intensive and meticulous sorting process to ensure quality. Post-harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in concrete vats, then mature in French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months for optimum flavour.
The result is a full-bodied red crafted in the traditional Bordeaux style, known for its robust structure, rich, rounded tannins, and elegant, intoxicating aroma marked by dark fruits and hints of cocoa. Reflecting the producer's commitment to terroir expression, La Fleur Morange 2020 delivers a unique balance between magnitude and elegance, making it an unforgettable testament to the art of fine winemaking.

A magnificent Pétrus. A virtual spicerack of a wine, this Bordeaux features exotic, spicy aromas, with nuances of cinnamon, strawberries and raspberries. Full-bodied and tannic, with an amazing wild berry, sweet fruit and spice aftertaste. Best after 2002. 3,200 cases made.Inc. TAX€3,794.77 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-89)
Redcurrant, minerals and spice on the nose. Fresh and juicy in the mouth, with cooler, rather muscular flavors of kirsch, minerals, mint and shoe polish. Quite tight today, and not yet showing much fat or personality, but has the structure and guts to develop in bottle. Finishes firmly tannic.Inc. TAX€2,539.46 -
Wine Spectator (100)
Fantastic. Dark ruby color with hints of purple. Glorious aromas of blackberry, tobacco, cedar and slightly wet earth. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a fabulous finish. This is subtle and refined. Wonderful length. Tasted side by side with the 2000 Pétrus, it is clearly better. Today, I give it two points higher than previous tastings. Perfection.--Pétrus non-blind vertical. Best after 2012.Inc. TAX€5,035.68 -
