Chateau Petrus has never been officially classified but has long since been among the best of the First Growths of Bordeaux. The Chateau has changed ownership over the years and finally rests in the capable hands of the Mouiex family. Situated at the highest point of elevation on the Pomerol plateau, it’s the soil that makes Petrus so unique. Underneath the topsoil of clay is a subsoil of deep, dark blue clay only found in Pomerol, with Petrus being the only Chateau to have its entire vineyard situated upon it. It’s this exclusive terroir that shines in the wines produced here, with winemaking techniques taking a traditional and respectful supporting role. Petrus has been making exemplary wines for years, and time and time again, we find that with every vintage, the wine is worth every bit of praise it receives from critics nationwide.
