Description

France / Bordeaux / Pomerol

Château Pétrus, founded in the 18th century, received little international attention in its first 200 years. In 1945, the then owner, Madame Loubat, succeeded in producing a highly acclaimed wine of the century. Since then, the winery has managed to continuously improve the quality of its wines. Under the renowned winemaking family Moeuix, Château Pétrus became an absolute star among the top wineries in the Bordeaux appellation, and the great Pomerol is a staple in the cellars of passionate wine collectors and wine investors. Of the last ten vintages (2008-2018) by the talented top winemakers Christian Moueix and Olivier Berrouet, five received the highest rating of 100 Parker points.

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
