Parker über: Chateau Petrus

-- Parker: As I observed to Olivier Berrouet, it's hardly very original to find a wine critic extolling the virtues of this Pomerol reference point; and yet, whether one likes it or not, there's no denying that the 2020 Pétrus is a brilliant achievement and indeed one of the very finest vintages at this address over the last two decades. Unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berries, cherries and cassis mingled with hints of exotic spices, violets and vine smoke, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with huge depth at the core, exquisitely refined tannins and a youthfully reserved, even restrained profile despite its power and size. This serious, classically proportioned Pétrus is a monument in the making. 100/100

Decanter über: Chateau Petrus

-- Decanter: Extremely powerful, this has the concentration of the vintage no question, but it is oh so slowly dealt out. Despite the clear water reserves in the soils of Petrus, the Merlot still slowed down its ripening over the dry summer - just 30mm of rain here in August - before suddenly accelerating in September. A ton of acidity alongside silky seductive tannins, dense and powerful with violet floral notes streaking through the fruit as it opens. Gorgeous balance with unmistakable personality. Yields here were around 39hl/ha. 3.6pH. Harvest September 5 to 18. 98/100

Suckling über: Chateau Petrus

-- Suckling: The transparency and complexity in the nose is wonderful, with so much floral character like violets and roses with some fresh spices. Dark berries, too. Sandalwood. It’s medium-bodied but then it just opens and unfolds with incredible depth of fine tannins and great length. It goes on for minutes. It opens like butterfly wings. What a wine. Superb. Drink after 2028. 100/100

Falstaff über: Chateau Petrus

-- Falstaff: Waldheidelbeere im Duft, sehr frisch und klar. Himbeere, rote Johannisbeere, dazu ein eisenmineralischer Unterton. Im Mund dicht mit sehr feinem Gerbstoff besetzt, integrierter Alkohol, viel unterliegende Cremigkeit, nahtlos integrierte Säure, Schmelz und Feinnervigkeit, und eine ebenso feine wie eindringliche mineralische Ader, die den Wein durchzieht bis ganz zuletzt, da sich zudem salzige Wahrnehmungen einstellen. 97-99/100

Petrus

Ist Petrus nun der berühmteste Rotwein der Welt? Aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach ja. In jedem Fall ist er aber einer der mit der größten Sorgfalt produzierten Weine der Welt. Bis vor kurzem wurde neben dem Merlot auch ein Teil Cabernet Sauvignon angebaut. Jean-François Moueix, der Eigentümer von...
