Petrus is the most famous and prestigious of all of its wines. Petrus produces only grand vin (the remainder of the production being declassified). Well known in France and enjoying legendary status abroad, Petrus was served at Elizabeth II's engagement party. In the 1960s, President Kennedy displayed a particular fondness for Petrus, indirectly contributing to its popularity in the United States and bestowing on it the status of one of the world's truly great wines.
About the cuvée: Very few great red wines are made exclusively from Merlot. However, in this unique terroir, the grape produces an incomparably velvety wine with incredible concentration. It is quite simply majestic, presenting unequalled power and richness. Somme vintages can be kept for more than fifty years.
