Expert's opinions

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 reflections. Brilliant and very homogeneous. Clean nose, medium intensity, very complex, fresh, fruity, licorice, finely tarry and accompanied by a touch of wood. On swirling, clean. Still fresh and distinguished with a very high concentration of fruit. On the palate, clean and supple attack developing on a powerful structure with a fine textured mouthfeel. Very slow tannic development where fresh fruit constantly dominates the tasting. Creamy tactile sensation. Juicy, concentrated and complex finish where fruity, floral aromas emerge, very persistent on a very fine tannic base. Great wine combining power and finesse. Wait until 2000 and before 2025.

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.
