PETRUS
Within the world of fine wine appreciation, there is something of an ‘ultra-elite,’ an inner-circle that few wines will ever enter. This is a group of maybe five or six, almost exclusively French wines, whose prices and reputations exceed those of all others. Pétrus could be said to be the archduke of this noble assembly. In the best vintages few wines compare in terms of price or critical acclaim, these wines are best known for their power, concentration and multi-layered complexity. Pétrus is the ultimate expression of the opulence and charm that right bank wines can deliver when at their best.
The vineyard is located in Pomerol on a plateau dominated by iron-rich (crasse de fer) clay soils that give the wines their structure and power. They are well drained due to a gentle slope. The clay content retains some water which reduces hydric stress and creates a cooler mesoclimate that is ideally suited to the early ripening Merlot. The average age of the vines is 45 years.
