One of the most revered wines in the world, the grand reputation of Château Pétrus needs no introduction. A crown jewel of French wine production, the château is located in the Pomerol appellation, near its eastern border with Saint-Émillion. The suis generis vineyard consists of blue clay topsoil and subsoil, which contribute to the quality and mystique of the wine. Always 100% merlot, Petrus is the only wine produced from this unique soil and terroir. John F. Kennedy’s tipple of choice, it’s hard to think of a grander birth year or anniversary gift.
Tasting notes:
Legacy in Liquid Velvet! Drenched in a rich, evolving garnet, this Pomerol gem exudes the allure of its distinguished lineage. A bouquet of truffles, plum, and old leather hints at its storied past. The palate, a masterclass in refinement, reveals velvety tannins intermingled with notes of black fruit, tobacco, and hints of forest floor. The finish is a timeless echo, a reminder of Bordeaux’s unparalleled elegance.
