Wines from the winery Société Civile du Château Petrus

Pétrus's wines seem to deserve all the attributed compliments and the almost mystical fans devotion of the wine. It is a unique and the most concentrated and richest wine of the Pomerol. Nevertheless, in spite of its power, the Pétrus's greatness secret resides in its remarkable balance and its penetrating aroma, which make it different, not only from the rest of Pomerols but also from the rest of wines.

This unique personality is due to to the soil characteristics of its vineyards.... Both in the surface and in the subsoil predominate the clay, unlike all its neighbors where the sand abounds. The Merlot grape finds here his ideal soil. The vine-stocks are very old, due to Mr. Loubat (his owner) refused to remove the vineyard after the disastrous frosts of 1956 and waited patiently that the vine-stocks were recovering.
Jean-Cleaude Berrouet, one of the most recognized enologists of the world, is in charge of the vinificatión.
