Description
The Petrus retains its opaque purple-black color after bottling, a harbinger of the seemingly frozen, glacial pace at which this wine proceeds. It opens very reluctantly, requiring plenty of air with vigorous swirling, and after a few hours, this giant of a wine awakens. As it finally unfolds, it slowly transforms into a powerful, fantastically pure nose of preserved plums, blackberry preserves, and blueberry compote, followed by nuances of melted licorice, dark chocolate, black truffles, iron ore, and, even later, floral notes of lilac and rose oil. On the palate, the wine is taut and muscular, with many, many layers of perfectly ripe black and blue fruit, exotic spices, and earthy notes that are simply beyond words. It will need a good 8-10 years to really get going, and then it's highly likely it will outlive us all, but you should definitely drink this before you go.
This Petrus also comes directly from the chateau. We always purchase all our wines from importers or chateaux so that authenticity can be verified and we can be sure these wines are always stored in good condition .

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Petrus gives up glorious scents of preserved plums, redcurrant jelly, dried rose petals, blackberry compote and mulberries with touches of licorice, Chinese five spice and fragrant earth. Full, rich, plushly textured and oh-so-decadent, it reveals layer upon layer of spice box, black fruit and ferrous notions, finishing long and fragrant.

Tons of truffle and chocolate make this lush and fleshy Pomerol very seductive. The power and concentration are impressive, but right at the opulent and silky finish there's just a hint of warmth from the alcohol. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)

From: Sharing Alike: Petrus 1947 - 2015 (Sep 2018)
The Petrus 2009 may well have a nose ahead of the 2010 as the two vie for supremacy and in an odd way, at this moment their respective personalities have more in common with the opposite vintage. The 2009 has lost a bit of its glossy veneer and become a tad more detailed and respectable, those pencil lead notes beautifully marrying with the blackberry and raspberry fruit, verisimilar to a Left Bank. The palate is medium-bodied with fine but sturdy tannin, more mineral-driven than the 2009, aristocratic and surfeit with almost indescribable complexity on the finish. I like how this 2009 is growing up, the direction it is heading. Tasted blind at a private lunch in Hong Kong.

Château Pétrus is owned by the Moueix family and located in Pomerol (Bordeaux). Château Pétrus produces the most famous Merlot wine in the world! The vineyard covers just 11.5 hectares and is planted with 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc vines, with an average age of 45 years. The soil consists of iron-rich clay.
Château Pétrus: the ultimate icon of Pomerol
Château Pétrus is without a doubt one of the most legendary wine estates in the world. Situated in the heart of the Bordeaux region, on the plateau of Pomerol, this modest estate has been producing exceptional red wines for decades. Although Pétrus does not carry an official classification (Pomerol has no Grand Cru system), the wine is globally regarded as one of the very best, often mentioned in the same breath as the Premier Crus of the Médoc.
The terroir of Château Pétrus
What makes Pétrus so special is its unique terroir. The 11.5-hectare vineyard lies on a rare subsoil of blue clay; a type of soil found almost nowhere else in Bordeaux. This clay retains water exceptionally well, which is crucial in dry years, and gives the wines their remarkable power and refinement. Its location on the highest point of Pomerol also ensures optimal sun exposure and drainage.
Pétrus produces Merlot in its purest form
Pétrus is almost entirely planted with Merlot. This grape thrives on the heavy clay soil and produces wines that are rich, velvety, and powerful. In some vintages, a small percentage of Cabernet Franc is added, but the focus is always on expressing Merlot at its finest. In the glass, this translates into intense aromas of black fruit, truffle, cocoa, and violets, with a sensual texture and an endless finish. The wine can age for decades, gaining in complexity and depth over time.
Meticulous vinification at Château Pétrus
At Château Pétrus, every detail matters. From rigorous selection in the vineyard to slow fermentation and aging in carefully chosen French oak barrels - every step of the winemaking process is aimed at crafting a wine that is both grand and elegant. Only a few thousand cases are produced each year, which adds to its exclusivity.
A wine for collectors and true enthusiasts
Pétrus is more than just a wine. It is a collector’s item, a symbol of prestige, and above all a singular taste experience. Those lucky enough to own a bottle will discover the essence of top Bordeaux, made with dedication, tradition, and a pursuit of perfection. It is a wine that reveals its full potential only in the best vintages, making each release eagerly anticipated.
