Jean-Marc Quarin June - 2004

Dark red color. Intense. Black. Barely evolved. Intense, fine, fruity, fresh nose. New wood! What sweetness on the attack, what pleasure in the middle! The wine slides happily and offers fruit and flesh. It ends juicy with a taste of liquorice, complex, melting and almost airy. Great finesse. Nice 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 February - 1997
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 derives its name from a village called "Petrus". Its history is recent and yet this wine is already a legend. Throughout the nineteenth century the area belonged to the Arnaud family. In 1925, a woman from the Libourne region, Ms. Loubat, takes shares in the property. Twenty years later she is the sole owner. Understanding that the wines of the Medoc sell for more than wines of Pomerol, in particular her wines, she did everything she could to take advantage of such a promising terroir.  In a few decades the myth was born. In 1961, Mrs Lacoste and Mr. Lignac, niece and nephew of Mrs. Loubat  inherit the estate.The vineyard is based on the highest hill of the designation, culminating at an altitude of 40 meters. The soil consists mainly of clay which  is well suited to Merlot which constitutes 95% of the plantings. The 12 hectares are the subject of constant work and a constant obsession with détail.  It is thought that Pétrus is more accessible to tasting than  some of its illustrious colleagues..
