Pétrus 1980, a fine wine from Pomerol, born on unique blue clays. This Merlot (96%) aged in oak barrels offers notes of dark fruits, vanilla, and spices. The palate, silky and mineral, captivates with its length. Ideal with duck breast or sweetbreads, it can be cellared for three decades.
A mythical estate of Pomerol, Pétrus embodies Bordeaux excellence across generations, rooted in a unique terroir where the vine draws its strength.
- Terroir: Rare blue clay soils in Pomerol, lending the wines a mineral depth and a silky structure.
- Vinification: Meticulous aging in French oak barrels, favoring balance and purity of fruit.
Tasting notes for Pétrus 1980
To the eye – Ruby robe with slightly brick-tinted reflections, of a chalky density and a precise brilliance.
On the nose – Aromas of wild blackberry and black cherry mingle with notes of toasted vanilla, blonde tobacco, and a saline hint of graphite, evoking the minerality of the terroir.
On the palate – Velvety and taut texture, carried by a lively acidity and a smooth tannic framework, giving way to a long and elegant finish, where nuances of licorice and underbrush emerge.
Serve between 16 and 18 °C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 1980
