The Pétrus 2002, a jewel of Pomerol, blossoms on the blue clay of the plateau. This old-vine Merlot unveils aromas of violets and truffle after 18 months in new barrels. Its silky and mineral palate, with a taut freshness, pairs with game and truffles through 2032.
Nestled in the heart of Pomerol, this legendary estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence for generations, shaped by an exceptional terroir and an uncompromising pursuit of purity.
- Terroir : Blue clay of the Pomerol plateau, a unique soil conferring a mineral depth and a velvety structure to the wines, typical of the Appellation.
- Winemaking : Patient aging in new oak barrels, manual harvesting and fermentation in concrete vats to preserve the finesse of the Merlot.
Tasting notes for the wine Pétrus 2002
- On the eye : Deep purple robe with garnet highlights, of a silky density and crystalline brilliance, immediately revealing its balance and concentration.
- On the nose : An enchanting bouquet where fresh violets, ripe red plum, black truffle and a touch of gentle spices mingle, underlined by a chalky minerality reminiscent of wet stone.
- On the palate : Velvety attack, tannins of a satiny texture, lively and precise acidity, carried by a saline minerality that stretches into a long and elegant finish, marked by notes of liquorice and cocoa.
Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
