Chateau Petrus 2019
Buy the exceptional Chateau Petrus 2019 from Bottle & Glass Wine Merchants.
Despite the wines of Pomerol not being included in the famous 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, nor having been subsequently classified, Château Pétrus is widley regarded not only as the finest wine of the appellation, but also one of the finest of Bordeaux.
Pétrus is owned by négociant Jean-Francois Moueix. The estate's 11.5ha vineyard sits at 40 metres elevation, making it the highest on the Pomerol plateau. Stephen Brook's terrific book 'The Complete Bordeaux' (3rd Edition 2017) has plantings at 97% merlot and 3% cabernet franc, although he notes that cabernet franc hardly ever enters the final blend, which is usually 100% merlot. The vineyard is renowned for its famous "buttonhole" of blue clay.
Provenance is the most important thing when buying a wine like this. The wine was purchased en-primeur and has been stored in a temperature controlled cabinet since it's arrival.
Chateau Petrus 2019 Reviews
The reviews for the 2019 Petrus are simply outstanding!
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Petrus unfurls very slowly to offer glimpses at licorice, fragrant earth, crushed rocks, and cinnamon toast hints over a core of juicy blackberries, black raspberries, and crushed violets with a subtle waft of dusty earth. Full-bodied, rich, decant and unashamedly flamboyant, the palate has super firm, super velvety tannins and amazing tension, delivering slow releasing exotic spice and black fruit layers, finishing very long, opulent and incredibly impactful. Tuck it away for another 6-8 years, at least, and then count on it transforming magnificently over the following 50-years+."

"The 2019 Château Pétrus is a behemoth, and I can't imagine a better marriage of sexy, opulent fruit with purity, precision, and length. Always all Merlot from a single parcel of clay soils, it takes time to unwind in the glass (I followed this bottle for multiple days) and offers a powerful, primordial style in its black cherries, mulberries, smoked tobacco, damp earth, and chocolate, as well as a beautiful floral component that emerges with air. Dense, concentrated, and incredibly rich on the palate, it has a multi-dimensional mouthfeel and sweet yet substantial tannins. Despite plenty of glycerin and opulence on the palate, which certainly makes it fun to taste today, it has a very straight, classic feel that will demand bottle age. It probably needs to be forgotten for 8-10 years and will deliver the goods over the following 50 years or more."
