The Story Behind the Wine: Château Pétrus, nestled in the heart of Pomerol, boasts a rich history dating back to the mid-18th century. The estate's 11.4-hectare vineyard is uniquely situated on a plateau with iron-rich clay soils, ideal for cultivating Merlot. In 1964, Jean-Pierre Moueix acquired the property, ushering in an era of meticulous winemaking. By 2011, under the expertise of winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet, Pétrus had solidified its reputation for producing some of the world's most sought-after wines.
