Is there a second wine from Petrus? I haven't been able to find one, which makes me think there isn't, but I wanted to ask anyhow. TIA.

No, no second wine from Petrus.

Ditto....

What a great resource this collective board is. Thanks from a newbie!

Hello - i was told last night 'La Petite Fleur' was Petrus' second wine - i've done some research but cannot confirm this.

I don't think so. "Fleur" would refer to a château with a fleur in the name, Like Ch. Lafleur (second wine Les Pensées-de-Lafleur). But I don't recall a (Château) Petite Fleur.

Sometimes you see Ch. La Fleur-Pétrus mentioned as "the second wine of Pétrus". Which of course is blasfemy, be it that they both belong to Moueix.

Winesearcher Pro shows no wine with Petite Fleur in the name for sale anywhere in the world other than a California Petite Sirah and a wine from Argentina.

Although you can't really prove a negative, if this was a second from Petrus or any other Chateau in France, someone would probably have it for sale.

Cheers for this, I will report this to my drunken friend :-)

Today I saw something at Ralphs called "Petrus Gaia". It was from the Bordeaux Superior Appelation and not Pomerol. I suppose one may come to the conclusion that it was a second wine.

There's a ton of regular Bordeaux that have the words La Tour and Haut Brion in their names and they have nothing to do with the first growths. I guess the idea is to have an ill-informed comsumer make that presumptive leap of association.

I think La Fleur-Petrus's name copmes from its physical location between Lafleur & Petrus.
