Jean-Marc Quarin June - 2004

Dark red color. Intense. Black. Barely evolved. Intense, fine, fruity, fresh nose. New oak! What smoothness on the attack, what pleasure in the middle! The wine glides with delight and offers fruit and flesh. It finishes juicy with a taste of licorice, complex, melting and almost airy. Great finesse. Beautiful powerful length.

I really loved the superb minerality core here, that was the highlight. But there was still enough fresh fruit to create a beautiful balance. When revealed, I was surprised to see the 1994 vintage (and we were even discussing if this was Bordeaux at all). It might not be the most complex wine but a true success given the rather weak vintage. And in this half bottle it aged certainly a bit faster and adding one or the other additionally aroma layer which made it a great experience. Intense chalky minerality and dark fruits on the nose. On the palate a beautiful fresh and pure dark fruit core but a more dominating slate and chalk minerality core, some tobacco and malty notes, and hints of intriguing floral aromas. The wine is very well-rounded and harmonious, quite long and without much hard edges.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
After several uninspiring efforts between 1978 and 1988, it is irrefutable that Christian Moueix and his flagship estate, Petrus, have rebounded with a vengeance, producing a bevy of extraordinary wines, even in rain-plagued vintages such as 1992 and 1993. Opaque purpleblack in color, with a sweet vanilla, pain grillee, jammy cherry and cassis-scented nose, this full-bodied, densely packed wine reveals layers of flavor, and an inner-core of sweetness with huge quantities of glycerin and depth. A tannic, classic style of Petrus, with immense body, great purity, and a backward finish, this wine requires a decade of cellaring.

Wonderfully rich and concentrated, with milk chocolate, berry and floral aromas, loads of fruit flavors and soft, round tannins. Full-bodied and has good length. A great wine for the vintage.

The Petrus estate takes its name from the locality "Petrus". Its history is recent, yet this wine is already a legend. Throughout the 19th century, the estate belonged to the Arnaud family. From 1925, a woman from Libourne, Madame Loubat, acquired shares in the property. About twenty years later, she became the sole owner. Not accepting or understanding why Médoc wines were selling for higher prices than those from Pomerol, particularly her own, she did everything to make the most of such promising terroir. In a few decades, the myth was born. In 1961, Madame Lacoste and Monsieur Lignac, niece and nephew of Madame Loubat, inherited the estate. The vineyard is situated on the highest hill of the appellation, reaching an altitude of 40 meters. The soil, composed mainly of clay, is well-suited to Merlot, which makes up 95% of the grape varieties. The 12 hectares of the estate are subject to constant work and permanent attention to detail. Pétrus is considered a wine that is more accessible for tasting than some of its illustrious counterparts.
