Merchant's description

Pétrus 2022 is a distinguished Pomerol wine crafted primarily from Merlot. This vintage marks a significant moment for the estate, as the challenge of a historic heatwave was met with the unique character of the vineyard`s clay soils, which retain moisture effectively. Under the guidance of winemaker Olivier Berrouet, the resulting wine possesses a concentrated structure with a fine tannic quality. Pétrus has a long-standing reputation for quality, with roots tracing back to the 18th century, making it a historical reference point in the world of fine wine.
