ABOUT THE WINE
It is hard to imagine a world without Pétrus, for in the sphere of wine, Pétrus circles and radiates its influence like a celestial body. 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. 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.
