From the Pomerol appellation in Bordeaux, Petrus 1997 is a 100% Merlot wine with an alcohol content of 13.5%. The vintage emerged from a warm growing season recognised for yielding fruit characterised by supple tannins and an early harvest. This wine exhibits aromas of black cherries, truffle, and mulberry, reflecting the estate`s renowned blue clay terroir. The 1997 vintage is often overshadowed by its predecessors, yet has gained recognition for its approachable nature and fruit density. Petrus, historically a small 11.4-hectare estate, remains one of Bordeaux’s most esteemed wineries, known for its consistent quality and distinctive style.
