When to drink this wine : 2030 - 2070 (according to the Wine Advocate estimate.)

Tasted in 2023 by William Kelley: "As I pointed out to Olivier Berrouet, it's not very original to see a wine critic extolling the virtues of this benchmark wine in AOC Pomerol; and yet, like it or not, there's no denying that the 2020 Pétrus is a brilliant success and indeed one of the best vintages at this address in the last two decades. The deep bouquet of dark berry, cherry and blackcurrant fruit intermixed with notes of exotic spices, violets and vine smoke is full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with great depth at the core, exquisitely refined tannins and a youthful, reserved, even restrained profile despite its power and size. This serious Petrus, with its classic proportions, is a monument in the making".

 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.
