Bought in 2001 by Florence & Dominique Decoster. Ch Fleur was promoted to "Saint-Emilion Grand cru classé" in 2006. I did a vertical ‘12, ‘13 & ‘14, check my notes on ‘14 for conclusion. A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cab Franc and 5% Cab Sauvignon, deep red with big ripe fruit aromas and gentle notes of floral. Blue & Black berry flavors, great mouthfeel delivers nice balance on structured soft tannins that could benefit with more time, lingering finish ending with smoky mineral notes. Will cellar Nicely! — 8 years ago

Very chinon at first, Merlot is too dominate for my taste with air. Still kickass with some bavette. — 9 years ago

Inky violet red. Green pepper is less prominent and the body is juicier and fruitier than other cheap Bordeaux I've had. Oak age defines this: the tannins are big but silked out considerably, and the aroma and finish are decidedly that pruney oak deal. Part of me likes the sharp raw green pepper thing, but this is much more drinkable. This is a buy-again winner. — 9 years ago

Silky smooth sweet cherries and vanilla with a hint of espresso. One of the oldest vineyards in Saint Emilion. Call out to the man, lovingly called “The Boogeyman”, for the great Left Bank/Right Bank 2012 horizontal tasting recommendation this evening. — 7 years ago

2011 shows how nice the La Montagne can evolve after several years. Fruity nose and very herbal at the palate. Still fresh and vibrant.

Dads day so going back to the winery where my dad was the winemaker in 1979 👊🏻 Great but tannic finish. Needs to soften a bit over time. Wait a few years to drink — 9 years ago

Have to agree with the others here unbeleavable value classic cedar box low alcohol Bordeaux for very little money. Therefore high rating. — 10 years ago

I had a bottle of this wine a while ago and it was spectacular: 94pts. The second, which I drank a few weeks ago, was very good, but not as good as the first one, but still pretty decent: 90 pts. On average 92. A fine claret by the owners of Cheval Blanc. — 8 years ago

Sensational! This was a rec from a Parisian wine store owner, who said he recently opened a bottle and was delighted. He did not disappoint. Obviously stored perfectly. Bursting with bright fruit (blueberry), and tastes of cassis and baking spices. With just enough of that Bordeaux-St Emilion earthiness to satisfy but please even the non-Bordeaux drinker — 9 years ago

Much lighter than I had expected. Awesome aromas; garrigue, camphor, capsicum, tobacco, black tea, leather. The palate is complex, giving off different flavors with each sip. Bright cherry, mushrooms, dusty earth, briar berry, green pepper, charcoal. Finishes with smoke and a nice touch of white pepper. Beautifully complex. All the elegance of a fully mature St. Emilion. — 10 years ago
