Silky yet firmly structured, 2014 Château Petrus layers ripe blackberry, plum and black cherry fruit with sandalwood, graphite and a gentle tobacco warmth, all carried on a long, savoury, mineral-tinged finish. This cooler, more classical vintage shows remarkable finesse for such a rich Merlot, with perfectly ripened tannins that feel powerful but polished, promising even greater nuance with time in bottle.

Château Petrus is an iconic, single-wine estate in Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, producing a profoundly concentrated, long-lived red made almost exclusively from old-vine Merlot rooted in rare, iron-rich blue clay atop the plateau’s highest point. Its unique terroir, meticulous low-yield viticulture, and traditional élevage in new oak barrels give a wine renowned for opulence and depth yet remarkable finesse, making it one of the world’s most coveted and expensive Bordeaux.
