97 -Wine Enthusiast -

After the fabulous 2005, Pétrus again has produced a magnificent wine in 2006, even if it doesn't hit quite the same heights. It has an immensely powerful structure and concentration, always the hallmark of this wine. But this structure is almost masked by the superbly ripe and fresh fruit. And with all this weight, there is still a sense of proportion, the rich berry fruits, smokiness and light spice beautifully integrated.

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Petrus now seems to be evolving more slowly than the 2006 Le Pin: the fruit darker with raspberry coulis, mulberry, hints of marmalade and crushed rose petals coming forth. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, gently gripping the mouth and demonstrating admirable weight and complexity. You might almost think there was some Cabernet Franc towards the finish thanks to the subtle peppery notes coming through. It is probably ready to drink now, but the substance here suggests that it will age for another decade and continue to offer pleasure long after. Tasted January 2016.

About The Producer

Château Pétrus, a legendary winery located in the prestigious Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, stands as a symbol of excellence and rarity in the world of fine wines. Revered by connoisseurs and collectors, Château Pétrus holds a storied history that dates back to the 18th century. The estate's vineyards, covering a relatively small area, benefit from the unique clay soils that impart a distinct character to the grapes, particularly the Merlot variety. Renowned for their power, complexity, and extraordinary aging potential, the wines of Château Pétrus have become synonymous with opulence and refinement. Each vintage is meticulously crafted with meticulous attention to detail, and the vineyard's low yields contribute to the limited production and exceptional quality of their wines. A bottle of Château Pétrus represents a true oenophilic treasure, embodying the essence of the Pomerol region and capturing the artistry and expertise that has been refined over generations.
