The 1960 Petrus was served blind. While it was clear that we were in the presence of a Pomerol of serious pedigree, I was shocked not so much by the revelation of its age since the color betrayed that clearly enough, but by revelation of its undistinguished birth-year. It had a dark color that suggested a warmer growing season. The bouquet is straightforward but defined, a hint of black plum soon nudged over for powdered dark chocolate, sage and glowing embers. The palate is medium-bodied, quite earthy, soft and easy-going, but with a sense of harmony and an abstract sense of "pride" on the finish. I doubt many 1960 Pomerol wines approach this Petrus, which to my mind would have been the last vintage under the legendary «Grande Dame de Pomerol», Mme. Loubat.

Petrus is one of the most emblematic and sought-after wines of the Pomerol appellation, occupying a special place in the Bordeaux wine landscape. Unlike the great classified growths of the Médoc, Pomerol has no official classification, but Pétrus has established itself over time as the absolute reference of the appellation, recognized for the singularity of its terroir and the exceptional consistency of its wines.

The Petrus vineyard rests on a unique plateau of clay-ferruginous soils, dominated by a high proportion of blue clay, rare in Bordeaux. This terroir gives the wines a dense structure, remarkable depth and an immediately recognizable identity. The grape variety is almost exclusively composed of Merlot, a grape that finds here an expression of rare intensity.

The international renown of Petrus was built in the 20th century, notably under the impetus of remarkable figures who shaped its style and reputation. Petrus wines are distinguished by their richness, silky texture and exceptional aging potential. Among the emblematic vintages Petrus 1961, Petrus 1982, Petrus 1989, Petrus 1990, Petrus 2000, Petrus 2005, Petrus 2009, Petrus 2010, Petrus 2011, Petrus 2016, Petrus 2017, Petrus 2018, regularly cited among the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
