Pétrus 1981, an emblematic wine of Pomerol, draws its singularity from blue clay soils. Composed of Merlot (96%) and Cabernet Franc (4%), it offers aromas of truffle, cherry and liquorice, a velvety texture and a lively freshness. To be savoured with a truffle risotto or a hare stew.
Nestled in the heart of Pomerol, this mythical estate embodies the excellence of a family terroir where blue clay shapes wines of rare intensity.
- Terroir: 11.4 hectares of blue clay unique to Pomerol, imparting mineral depth and a silky structure to the wines.
- Winemaking: Hand-harvesting, aging in new barrels for a pure expression and preserved elegance.
Tasting notes for Pétrus 1981
To the eye – A deep garnet robe, of a velvety density, where the ripeness of a great Pomerol can be sensed.
On the nose – Aromas of black cherry and fresh blackcurrant intertwine with deeper notes of truffle, liquorice and cedar, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of violet.
On the palate – A silky texture envelops precise tannins, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, for a long and harmonious finish where ripe fruits and gentle spices intertwine.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 1981
A vintage where climatic rigour sculpted wines of remarkable tension, combining concentration and freshness.
- Aging potential: Can be cellared for another 10 to 15 years in a cool and humid cellar, away from temperature variations.
