VANDERMEULEN PETRUS
Belgium has always been an extremely important market for the Bordelais, particularly those on the Right Bank of the Gironde. Pomerol and St. Emilion châteaux found extremely loyal customers and built enduring relationships with Belgian clients. Many châteaux would ship a portion of their wines in barrel to well-known Belgian merchants to be bottled. The most famous and respected of all the Belgian merchants was Vandermeulen, who were based in Ostend. The company was founded by Jules Vandermeulen in the mid-19th century. Vandermeulen were known for selecting the very best barrels and storing in their expansive cellars before bottling at what they felt was the perfect time. Vandermeulen bottled-Bordeaux from most chateau can be found, but they had particularly strong links with chateaux like Petrus, Cheval Blanc and L’Evangile. Vandermeulen bottled up to the great 1955 vintage.
