Pétrus
On the Pomerol plateau, Pétrus is built on geology before grandeur: barely 11 hectares, yet defined by a rare pocket of iron‑rich blue clay that holds water and sets the vine’s tempo through heat and drought. Records reach back to the 18th century, while the modern legend took shape after 1945 under Madame Loubat and the Moueix family’s stewardship.
Everything is calibrated for Merlot—old vines, ruthless parcel selection and meticulous hand harvesting, followed by precise fermentations and roughly a year of élevage in French oak, part new, part seasoned, aimed at texture and balance rather than forceful extraction.
More than a ‘château’, Pétrus reads as a terroir manifesto: discreet, rigorous and unmistakably shaped, year after year, by its clay crown at the top of Pomerol.Pétrus
