The Pétrus 2018 draws its soul from the blue clay of Pomerol. This pure Merlot, aged in oak barrels, seduces with its notes of blackberry, truffle and spices, a velvety texture and a taut minerality. Perfect for cellaring until 2080, it pairs beautifully with a hare stew.
On the slopes of Pomerol, Domaine Pétrus embodies the excellence of a family terroir shaped by generations of expertise.
- Terroir: Pomerol’s distinctive blue clay and deep soils rich in iron deposits give the Merlot rare minerality and power.
- Winemaking: Aging in French oak barrels, extended maceration and hand harvesting bring out a pure, structured expression of the grape variety.
Tasting notes for Pétrus 2018
Appearance: A dense, opaque purple-black color with silky highlights, hinting at a generous, concentrated palate.
Nose: Aromas of wild blackberry and fresh blackcurrant develop into notes of black truffle, roasted cocoa and a saline hint of graphite.
Palate: A velvety, full-bodied texture supported by lively acidity and chalky minerality, with a long, lingering and elegant finish.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
2018 vintage
A warm yet precise vintage: the summer heat ripened the grapes without diminishing their freshness, offering a perfect balance of power and finesse.
- Aging potential: Cellar until 2080 under optimal conditions (in a cool cellar, away from light and vibrations).
