Intensity in the 2022 Château Pétrus comes in waves of dark berry and red plum fruit, laced with cocoa, violet and subtle spice, all wrapped in a deep yet remarkably fresh frame. The palate is dense but glides with silk-fine tannins and vivid energy, building to a long, tingling finish that shows just how successfully this hot, concentrated vintage has been tamed. This is a poised, powerful Pétrus that begs for patience in the cellar to reveal its full complexity.
Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic; pigeon or squab with a red wine reduction; black truffle and wild mushroom risotto.

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.
