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

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.

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.
Waiting for kids to grow up so I can get back to attending offlines
