Petrus 1979

Petrus is a renowned Pomerol red produced from Merlot grown on the estate's distinctive clay-rich plateau. The vineyard's exceptional blue clay soils contribute concentration, structure and longevity, while meticulous vineyard and cellar practices create a powerful yet refined expression with remarkable depth, texture and ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted beef tenderloin, braised short ribs, truffle dishes, or aged Comte.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

A firm, structured Petrus with silky tannins and notes of sweet black olive, vanilla and berries, showing a restrained and comparatively firm profile.
