The 1960 Petrus was served blind. While it was clear that we were in the presence of a Pomerol of serious pedigree, I was shocked not so much by the revelation of its age since the color betrayed that clearly enough, but by revelation of its undistinguished birth-year. It had a dark color that suggested a warmer growing season. The bouquet is straightforward but defined, a hint of black plum soon nudged over for powdered dark chocolate, sage and glowing embers. The palate is medium-bodied, quite earthy, soft and easy-going, but with a sense of harmony and an abstract sense of "pride" on the finish. I doubt many 1960 Pomerol wines approach this Petrus, which to my mind would have been the last vintage under the legendary «Grande Dame de Pomerol», Mme. Loubat.

The Petrus estate derives its name from a village called "Petrus". Its history is recent and yet this wine is already a legend. Throughout the nineteenth century the area belonged to the Arnaud family. In 1925, a woman from the Libourne region, Ms. Loubat, takes shares in the property. Twenty years later she is the sole owner. Understanding that the wines of the Medoc sell for more than wines of Pomerol, in particular her wines, she did everything she could to take advantage of such a promising terroir.  In a few decades the myth was born. In 1961, Mrs Lacoste and Mr. Lignac, niece and nephew of Mrs. Loubat  inherit the estate.The vineyard is based on the highest hill of the designation, culminating at an altitude of 40 meters. The soil consists mainly of clay which  is well suited to Merlot which constitutes 95% of the plantings. The 12 hectares are the subject of constant work and a constant obsession with détail.  It is thought that Pétrus is more accessible to tasting than  some of its illustrious colleagues..
