Château Pétrus is an red wine from France, in the Bordeaux region (Southwest France, around the city of Bordeaux and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.), made principally from Merlot. The world's most revered Merlot, from the blue-clay plateau of Pomerol.
In character, this premium tier delivers the classic merlot profile — plum, blackberry, cedar, violet — with the structural stamp of Bordeaux and a medium-to-full-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
