Chateau Petrus

Chateau Petrus

Château Pétrus is a winery in the Pomerol region of Bordeaux, France, known for producing one of the world's most prestigious and expensive red wines. The winery is located on a small plateau in the commune of Pomerol, and its vineyards are planted primarily with the Merlot grape variety, along with small amounts of Cabernet Franc. Pétrus wines are recognized for their rich, opulent flavors and luxurious texture. The high price of Château Pétrus wines is a result of the wine's reputation, limited production, and the high demand for the wines. The most expensive wine in all of Bordeaux had a very humble beginning. Compared to the top Bordeaux wines in the Medoc, it’s also a relatively new producer. Research shows the oldest records regarding the history of Petrus goes all the way back to the mid 1750’s, making it one of the earliest established vineyards in Pomerol. The first reference is for a transaction with Jacques Meyraud when he purchased some Pomerol vineyard property located at Gazin, from the Voisin family. This is interesting as well as prophetic, because a few hundred years later, Chateau Gazin once again sold some of their best land to Petrus.
