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, the Pétrus estate embodies the excellence of a family terroir, shaped by generations of expertise.
- Terroir: Unique blue clay of Pomerol, deep soils rich in iron slag, lending the Merlot a rare minerality and power.
- Vinification: Aged in French oak barrels, with long maceration and hand-harvested grapes for a pure and structured expression of the grape variety.
Tasting notes for Pétrus 2018
In the glass: A dense and opaque purple-black robe with silky reflections, heralding a generous and concentrated wine.
On the nose: Aromas of wild blackberry and fresh blackcurrant, evolving towards notes of black truffle, roasted cocoa and a saline hint of graphite.
On the palate: A velvety and fleshy texture, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, with a persistently long and elegant finish.
Serve at 16 °C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 2018
A sunny and precise vintage, where the summer heat ripened the grapes without altering their freshness, offering a perfect balance between power and finesse.
- Ageing potential: Best kept until 2080 under optimal conditions (cool cellar, away from light and vibrations).
