 Tasted by Robert M. Parker Jr. on 1st jan 1998 : " The 1947 Petrus is the most decadent "wine of the century". Although it doesn't look like a port like the 1947 Cheval Blanc, it is a massive, unctuously textured, viscous wine of incredible power, richness and sweet fruit. The nose explodes in the glass, offering scents of jammy fruit, smoke and butterscotch. It is so smooth, thick and rich that one suspects a spoon could stand up. The wine is loaded with dreamy amounts of fruit, as well as high alcohol, but there are no noticeable tannins. "

 Terroir

 Clay is the secret of Petrus. Petrus is first and foremost a unique terroir on the Pomerol plateau covering 20 hectares, which is also home to two other famous châteaux, La Conseillante and L'Evangile. Petrus occupies the highest point, the top of a 40 meter high hillock called the Boutonnière argileuse de Pétrus; a cold terroir since it is clayey and surrounded by gravel and sand. These famous black swelling clays are very fine and have the property of storing water to give it back drop by drop to the vine. This clay acts as a kind of sponge that absorbs water but whose excess, like a natural drain, will flow down the plateau.

 Service

 The ideal serving temperature is around 15°C. It will go very well with a fillet of beef with duck foie gras for example.
