Château La Fleur-Pétrus
Château La Fleur-Pétrus is a Bordeaux wine from the Appellation d'origine contrôlée, appellation Pomerol AOC, Pomerol. The winery is located on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine region, in the commune of Pomerol in the department Gironde. As all wine produced in this appellation, La Fleur-Pétrus is unclassified but the estate is estimated among the great growths of the region. History Situated across the road from Château Pétrus adjacent to Château Lafleur, the vineyard lies on the high plateau of Pomerol where the soil is composed of variations of deep clay and gravel. La Fleur-Pétrus was acquired by Jean Pierre Moueix in 1950, becoming a part of the négociant house Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix which also owns Château Trotanoy. The estate was enlarged with the acquisition of vines from Château Le Gay in 1994. Production The vineyard area extends over 18.7 hectares, with grape varieties of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. References Château La Fleur ...

Bordeaux Wine
Bordeaux wine ( oc, vin de Bordèu, french: vin de Bordeaux) is produced in the Bordeaux region of southwest France, around the city of Bordeaux, on the Garonne River. To the north of the city the Dordogne River joins the Garonne forming the broad estuary called the Gironde; the Gironde department, with a total vineyard area of over 120,000 hectares, is the largest wine growing area in France. Average vintages produce over 700 million bottles of wine, ranging from large quantities of everyday table wine, to some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world. The vast majority of wine produced in Bordeaux is red (sometimes called "claret" in Britain), with sweet white wines (most notably Sauternes), dry whites, and (in much smaller quantities) rosé and sparkling wines (Crémant de Bordeaux) collectively making up the remainder. Bordeaux wine is made by more than 8,500 producers or ''châteaux''. There are 54 appellations of Bordeaux wine. History Viticulture ...
