    • Description

      Pétrus is undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed wines of Bordeaux and certainly the
      best of Pomerol. Its unique terroir and astounding care taken in the winegrowing and
      winemaking make it one of the most remarkable wines on Earth. Its global recognition
      coupled with an extremely high demand makes it one of the hardest wines to source in great
      condition. We are privileged to present it here in Australia. Pétrus champions every aspect
      of the terroir definition. The small vineyard of only 11.4 hectares (28 acres) is located on
      the highest hill of Pomerol on the right bank of Bordeaux at an altitude of 40 meters. The
      vines are on average 40 years old, planted at a density of 7,000 vines per hectare. The vines
      at Pétrus showcase the DNA of this truly exceptional wine and to ensure it endures, a massal selection of the vines is performed. This consists of isolating the highest quality vines
      within the vineyard and cloning them. It is laborious work to undertake but forms part of a
      powerful tradition that continues to strengthen the style and quality of the wine

    Chateau Petrus

    Château Pétrus is a winery in the Pomerol region of Bordeaux, France, known for producing one of the world's most prestigious and expensive red wines. The winery is located on a small plateau in the commune of Pomerol, and its vineyards are planted primarily with the Merlot grape variety, along with small amounts of Cabernet Franc. Pétrus wines are recognized for their rich, opulent flavors and luxurious texture. The high price of Château Pétrus wines is a result of the wine's reputation, limited production, and the high demand for the wines.

    The most expensive wine in all of Bordeaux had a very humble beginning. Compared to the top Bordeaux wines in the Medoc, it’s also a relatively new producer. Research shows the oldest records regarding the history of Petrus goes all the way back to the mid 1750’s, making it one of the earliest established vineyards in Pomerol.

    The first reference is for a transaction with Jacques Meyraud when he purchased some Pomerol vineyard property located at Gazin, from the Voisin family. This is interesting as well as prophetic, because a few hundred years later, Chateau Gazin once again sold some of their best land to Petrus.
