Rich in heritage, this 1992 vintage from Pétrus emerges from the Pomerol region of Bordeaux, an area renowned for its exceptional Merlot-based wines. The growing season faced significant challenges due to heavy rain during harvest, necessitating rigorous selection to ensure quality. The blue clay soils of the Pétrus plateau, however, provided a unique foundation for this wine. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, it underwent 18 months of maturation in 100% new French oak barrels. The resulting profile features red plum, damp earth, and tobacco, showcasing a structure that is more approachable compared to the esteemed 1989 and 1990 vintages, underscoring the craftsmanship of Christian Moueix.
