This Merlot-based wine comes from an 11.4-hectare vineyard in the eastern part of the Pomerol appellation. It is renowned for being rich and powerful, with notes of chocolate, spices, and dark fruit. Petrus is one of the most collected and expensive wines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetrus's records date back to 1837, but the estate's fame is more recent, dating from when the Moueix family bought half of it in 1962. Since then, it has become a fixture in cellars and auction listings, and regularly fetches higher prices than most of Bordeaux's first growths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original vineyard, covering 7 hectares (17 acres), is situated on a mound where the soil is almost entirely clay, unlike neighboring estates, whose soil contains more gravel or sand. The high clay content is particularly well suited to Merlot: a unique second layer of dense blue clay forces the roots to grow laterally. This feature is often considered responsible for Petrus's soft yet abundant tannins. The rest of the vineyard was acquired in 1969 from neighboring Château Gazin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines at Petrus can reach an unusually advanced age by Bordeaux standards. They are replanted only after 70 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 244px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 75 cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Country: France \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003eRegion: Bordeaux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing method: sustainable agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 172.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; height: 172.8px;\"\u003eGrape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10%; height: 172.8px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61%; height: 172.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting: This wine with its sumptuous bouquet offers superb aromas of ripe, juicy fruit. The tannic structure almost takes a back seat to this profusion of ripe fruit, but it is sufficient to hint at excellent aging potential. L’acidity and intense fruitiness combine to create a wine that is both fresh and powerful. Enjoy from 2020.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Main finest Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58384154329470,"sku":null,"price":2540.35,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0474\/6225\/2697\/files\/Petrus-Pomerol2011_26a8a93e-552b-4a31-95f0-d7a686dc6607.png?v=1793800427","url":"https:\/\/www.mfwines.ch\/en\/products\/pomerol-petrus-2011","provider":"Main finest Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
