Description
Why Invest in Pétrus?
Unrivaled Reputation and Merlot Mastery Petrus stands as the pinnacle of Pomerol's wines and holds a distinguished position among Bordeaux estates. The estate's Merlot-based wine originates from an 11.4-hectare vineyard in the eastern part of the Pomerol appellation, delivering a rich and powerful experience with distinct notes of chocolate, spice, and black fruit. Revered globally, Petrus is not just a collector's gem but also ranks among the most expensive wines, making it a compelling choice for investors seeking prestige and quality.
Historical Significance and Superlative Value
Established records of Petrus trace back to 1837, but its meteoric rise to superstardom occurred in 1962 when the Moueix family acquired a half share. Since then, Petrus has become a coveted inclusion in cellars and auctions, consistently commanding higher prices than many Bordeaux first growths. With a blend of history, exceptional craftsmanship, and the backing of a renowned winemaking family, Petrus proves to be an investment opportunity that transcends time and trends.
Terroir and Old-Vine Advantage: A Unique Proposition
Petrus's original 7-hectare vineyard, situated on a clay-dominated mound, sets it apart from neighboring estates with different soil compositions. The high clay content, especially conducive to Merlot, contributes to the wine's characteristic soft yet abundant tannins. The estate expanded in 1969 with the acquisition of additional vineyards from Château Gazin. Notably, Petrus allows its vines to age unusually long by Bordeaux standards, replanting only after 70 years, enhancing the uniqueness and potential longevity of its wines.
Meticulous Winemaking Craftsmanship: Every Berry Counts
Petrus's winemaking process is marked by meticulous attention to detail. Grapes are hand-harvested one berry at a time in the afternoon, ensuring optimal ripeness and avoiding dilution from morning dew. Fermentation occurs in concrete vats, with careful scrutiny of each vat before blending. While the estate's oak usage has evolved over the years, with the 1980s seeing all-new oak, the current approach balances tradition and innovation, with approximately 50 percent new oak. After 18 to 20 months in barrels, the wine is bottled without filtration, preserving the integrity of Petrus's exceptional flavors and textures.
