The 2016 Pétrus presents a rich, layered bouquet of kirsch, warm black plums, blueberry compote, red roses and Ceylon tea, underscored by licorice, pencil lead and crushed stone. On the palate it is profound and tightly structured, offering fine‑grained tannins, vivid acidity and a depth of black fruit framed in tension and minerality—less opulent than some vintages yet built for decades of evolution. Profound, polished and monumentally poised, this Pétrus is a triumph of balance and terroir expression.
Located on a singular 11.4 ha plot in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, Pétrus is one of Bordeaux’s most revered estates—producing only one red wine, from 100% Merlot grapes. Its terroir, rooted in deep blue‑clay soils, combined with meticulous viticulture and vinification, has created wines revered for their depth, concentration and longevity. Every vintage is approached with precision, hand‑harvesting and extraordinary attention to detail, placing Pétrus consistently at the apex of collectible fine wines.
