Château Pétrus 1977 is a mature red wine from the renowned Pomerol appellation in Bordeaux, primarily composed of Merlot grapes. The 1977 vintage faced considerable challenges, including spring frosts and a damp summer, which reduced yields. Although Pétrus maintains strict vineyard practices, this year yielded a wine that is generally lighter and less intense than more celebrated vintages. Expect notes of dried red fruit, subtle earthiness and an evolving savouriness.
