The greatest in luxury wine

In 1925, Madame Loubat started to buy shares in the Societe Civile du Chateau Petrus and by the conclusion of World War II was the single administrator of Chateau Petrus. In 1961, the Chateau was passed down by Madame Lacoste and Monsieur Lignac, niece and nephew of Madame Loubat. Afterwards Monsieur Lignac sold his shares to Jean-Pierre Moueix. plain and simple. There is nothing modest though in Petrus, a luxury much-admired wine in not only Pomerol, but in addition one of the greatest on earth. Petrus owes a lot to Jean-Pierre Moueix who made sure that allotment was restricted in a way that would guarantee it would acquire a luxury history internationally. Jean-Pierre is not just a magnificent representative; he is a aficionado of luxury, everything which make life noble.

Petrus receives all the loving attention and interest of a fussed over infant under possession of Jean-Francois, the child of Jean-Pierre. The vines thrive in attractive clay soil, nothing like the soil of part gravel sand or clay sand that is found in surrounding properties and some are unusually old, only replanted subsequent to the age of 70. The first-rate wines arrives from grapes that are purposely picked in the morning so as not to ruin them in the full high temperature of the sun. They are then fermented in concrete tanks, temperature managed, previous to being aged in 50% new French oak for 16 - twenty months. This exceptional luxury wine is very gently filtered, when needed, for fear of doing damage to any of the splendor. After this, a pre-assemblage is undertaken ruthlessly, with certain parcels being rejected from the Grand Vin. On average a year can typically yield at the very most 30 000 bottles of luxury wine and more in recent times this has been abridged even more.

The luxury wine courtesy of Petrus is very different, differing from the wines of adjoining attributes with its exceptional splendor, power and depth of colour that is rare. This is a red wine of luxury, remarkably well balanced with aromas of mulberry, blackcurrant, spices and truffles, setting it at a distance from other wines of Bordeaux.

The position of Petrus was seen when the wine won a gold medal in 1878 at the Paris Exhibition; this was the foremost wine from Pomerol to acquire this distinction, and of course at this time the honor carried a vast deal of weight, creating Petrus as one of the very best wines.

The pledge to developing one of the finest wines continues to be same even today. Petrus believe tenaciously in the established ideals of wine making while at the same time keeping ahead with the very hottest in technology. They head into the future looking forward to creating several additional luxury vintages of first-rate quality.

Earlier this year twelve bottles of Petrus, 1982, (Sothebys lot147) fetched 34'500 (53'000/40'000), demonstrating the amazing eagerness for this top quality luxury wine amidst the worldwide fiscal downturn.
