This Merlot-based wine comes from a vineyard of 11.4 hectares located in the eastern part of the Pomerol appellation. It is renowned for being rich and powerful, with notes of chocolate, spices, and dark fruits. Petrus is one of the most collected and expensive wines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe archives of Petrus date back to 1837, but the estate\u0026#39;s fame is more recent, since the Moueix family purchased half of it in 1962. Since then, it has become a staple in cellars and auction lists, regularly fetching higher prices than most first growths of Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe original vineyard, covering 7 hectares (17 acres), is located on a hill where the soil is almost entirely clay, unlike neighboring properties where the soil contains more gravel or sand. The high clay content is particularly well-suited for Merlot: a unique second layer of dense blue clay forces the roots to develop laterally. This characteristic is often considered responsible for the soft yet abundant tannins of Petrus. The rest of the vineyard was acquired in 1969 from the neighboring Château Gazin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines of Petrus can reach an unusually advanced age by Bordeaux standards. They are replanted only after 70 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 318.8px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat: double Magnum (3L)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 10%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 61%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Country: France \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003eRegion: Bordeaux\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 10%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 61%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eCulture: sustainable agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 212px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; height: 212px;\"\u003eGrapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 10%; height: 212px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 61%; height: 212px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTasting: this Pétrus offers a fabulous length with notes of chocolate, berries, and minerality.
