Château Petrus 2004

Recognized as one of the most iconic wines globally, Château Pétrus has long been a symbol of excellence and exclusivity. Every bottle is crafted with uncompromising precision, reflecting the legendary terroir of Pomerol. With an exceptionally low production of only 30,000 bottles per year, it is no surprise that Château Pétrus ranks among the most expensive and collectible wines in the world.

 

The vineyard thrives on a unique terroir found nowhere else, characterized by deep blue clay and high iron content, providing an ideal environment for Merlot vines over 40 years old. These vines absorb rich nutrients, resulting in dense, concentrated sugars, perfect for producing exceptionally rich Merlot wines. Crafted primarily from 95% perfectly ripened Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, Château Pétrus 2004 unveils a brilliant ruby-red hue, exuding an intoxicating bouquet of blackberries, cherries, and blackcurrants, beautifully complemented by decadent chocolate, earthy truffle, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, this wine delivers incredible depth and richness, with a silky tannic structure, a balanced composition, and a long, mesmerizing finish. Château Pétrus ages gracefully, capable of evolving over several decades, making it a true collector’s treasure. The 2004 vintage is hailed as a spectacular harvest, capturing the purest expression of Château Pétrus' excellence. Missing the opportunity to taste this wine would be a regret for any serious wine aficionado.
