An icon of a wine - There is no other wine that is more befitting of the description. Petrus is one of the most celebrated and sought-after wines in the world.
Pétrus was virtually unheard of 30 years ago - It was only when the Moueix family bought a half share in the property in 1962 that its true potential began to be fully realised. Pétrus is now under the direction of Christian Moueix and oenologist, Jean Claude Berrouet.
Pétrus is extraordinarily rich, powerful and concentrated, often with characteristics of chocolates, truffles, Asian spices and ultra-ripe, creamy, black fruits. Petrus is usually approachable after a decade or so in bottle, but the wines from the very greatest years will continue improving for many more years.
The 2014 is considered a velvet glove in an iron fist due to its power and elegance - It will continue to improve in the bottle for many years to come.
James Suckling describes the 2014 Petrus as 'A wine evincing true enlightenment. It’s floral on the nose and also shows blackberries, stones, minerals and cedar. Full-bodied, yet its so fine-grained and tight. So, so long. It builds like a waterfall on the finish. The tannins are powerful yet superbly integrated and harmonious. Needs four to five years in bottle'
James Suckling 98/100
