Wine Summary Image

Little known 50 years ago, this château has seen the rise of a myth about the uniqueness of its wine. The wine's inimatibility is due to many factors, first of all, an exceptional terroir - 40 meters above sea level, the highest point of the appellation - with a layer of heavy clay soil and an iron subsoil. These are ideal conditions for the expression of the Merlot grape. With such a special terroir, the approach in the vineyard and cellar is traditional and respectful.

The work done in the vineyard is fastidious - severe pruning in the winter, regular ploughing, crop-thinning, de-leafing, manicuring the clusters in the summer - and allows the perfect ripening of the fruit. The grape are manually harvested within two afternoons and sorted before crush.

Fermentation is carried out gently, without any overextraction, in temperature-controlled concrete tanks. The blend, very often pure Merlot, is defined in December and the young wine is aged in 100% new oak barrels.

This property made famous by Madame Edmond Loubat and then by Monsieur Jean-Pierre Moueix, culminates at 130 feet on the plateau of Pomerol. Ets Jean-Pierre Moueix is responsible for the cultivation, vinification and aging as well as the export distribution of Petrus wines.

Expert Reviews

The vineyard of Petrus is very small, only just over 11 hectares and the château is a small unspectacular building. This is typical for Pomerol. Whereas the top properties in Medoc were owned by nobility, wealthy financiers and powerful wine merchants who enlarged their vineyards over centuries adding impressive man-sions to match the reputation of the wines and their owners, the typical properties in Pomerol were much smaller and owned by local families living and farming the wines themselves. The phenomenal rise in reputation of the wines of Petrus and its prices is quite recent -it did not obtain higher prices than a second or third growth from Medoc until the 1960s . It was the 1982 vintage that really set the prices for Petrus soaring - in the spring of 1983 it was sold at the same price as the premier crus but only a year later it was traded at more than twice the price of these. It now sells at about four times that of Mouton or Cheval Blanc - two of the superstars of the vintage. - Tasting Book
