Description

Pétrus is extraordinarily rich, powerful and concentrated, often with characteristics of chocolates, truffles, Asian spices and ultra-ripe, creamy, black fruits. Petrus is usually approachable after a decade or so in bottle, but the wines from the very greatest years will continue improving for many more years.

About Chateau Petrus Château Pétrus, situated in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France, is one of the world's most esteemed and sought-after wine estates. Unlike many other top Bordeaux wines, Château Pétrus is almost exclusively made from Merlot, which gives it a distinctive richness, opulence, and velvety texture. The estate's relatively small vineyard benefits from unique clay soils that contribute to the wine's exceptional quality and aging potential. Founded in the 19th century, Château Pétrus gained prominence in the mid-20th century and has since become synonymous with luxury and excellence in the wine world. Its limited production and consistently high ratings make it a coveted choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
