Pétrus 1988 is a red wine from the Pomerol appellation in Bordeaux, crafted exclusively from Merlot grapes grown on the Pétrus estate`s clay-dominant plateau. The 1988 vintage experienced a warm growing season, resulting in ripe fruit character and notable structure. Aged in French oak, it presents a complex aroma profile of blackcurrant, cocoa, earthy undertones and hints of cedar. On the palate, the wine is defined by plush tannins, a mineral backbone and a lengthy finish. Pétrus is renowned for its meticulous vineyard practices and has a history of producing some of Bordeaux`s most sought-after wines. Available in magnum format.
