Acker Merrall and Condit, reputable wineseller in New York and Hong Kong (2012) Last in our first flight was the 1968 Petrus, another wine that exceeded expectations. Roman noted 'marzipan,' and James 'custard.' It smelled and tasted like a chapitalized Red Burgundy. It was quite gamy with that tobacco and Worcestershire edge. Soft, lush and pleasant, the 1968 was still enjoyable

Petrus

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 grands crus classés of the Médoc, Pomerol has no official classification, but Pétrus has established itself over time as the absolute reference of the appellation, recognised for the uniqueness of its terroir and the exceptional consistency of its wines.

The Petrus vineyard rests on a unique plateau of ferruginous clay 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 recognisable identity. The grape variety is almost exclusively composed of Merlot, a grape which 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.
