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
