Description
The 2017 vintage of Pétrus embodies the rare elegance and refinement that has made this estate one of the most coveted names in the world of wine. Despite the challenges of the year, Pétrus produced a wine of remarkable purity, precision, and harmony.
On the nose, it offers intense aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, violet, and subtle hints of truffle and graphite. The palate is velvety and refined, combining rich fruit with mineral freshness and perfectly polished tannins. The finish is long, graceful, and endlessly layered — a true reflection of Pétrus’ timeless artistry.
