95 / 100
Wine Spectator
Wine Spectator
(2009) Subtle yet rich aromas of grilled meat, black olive and dark red fruits. Full-bodied, very soft and silky, with ultrarefined tannins. The finish lasts for minutes. The quality of the tannins is beautiful and the complexity of fruit, earth and spices is impressive. Drinking this is like listening to Mozart.

(6-1994) Dark red color, intense. Black highlights. Brilliant and very homogeneous. Clear nose, moderate, very complex, fresh, fruity, liquorice, tar and finely accompanied by a touch of wood. Clear after swirling. Always fresh and elegant with great fruit concentration. On the palate, clean and supple attack growing on a powerful structure yet fine mouth texture. Very slow tannic development where fresh fruit constantly dominates the tasting. Creamy tactile sensation. Juicy, concentrated and complex finish where fruity, floral, persistent aromas arise on a very fine tannic background. Great wine which combines power and finesse. Wait until 2000 and before 2025.

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..
