A prodigious Petrus, this wine has that extra level of intensity and complexity that is monumental. The magic is clearly Petrus, and the 2000 will always be an interesting vintage to compare to another legend in the making, the 1998, or more recently, of course, the 2005, 2008, and 2009. Extremely full-bodied, with great fruit purity, an unmistakable note of underbrush, black truffle, intense black cherries, licorice, and mulberry, the wine seems to show no evidence of oak whatsoever. It has a sumptuous, unctuous texture, plenty of tannin, but also vibrancy and brightness. This is a remarkable wine that seems slightly more structured and massive than the 1998, which comes across as slightly more seamless, as if it were haute couture. This wine needs at least another 5-10 years of cellaring and should age for 50+ years.

The transparency and complexity in the nose is wonderful, with so much floral character like violets and roses with some fresh spices. Dark berries, too. Sandalwood. It’s medium-bodied but then it just opens and unfolds with incredible depth of fine tannins and great length. It goes on for minutes. It opens like butterfly wings. What a wine. Superb. Drink after 2028.

This has a pretty jam-packed core of blackberry, plum and boysenberry confiture notes inlaid with ample charcoal-edged tannins and carrying through a robustly tobacco-coated finish. But even with that density and power, there is a really beguiling backdrop of incense and black tea flavors waiting to emerge further. It's all there, but this seems a touch more backward than the rest of the field, so hold on here. -- Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Best from 2018 through 2035. 2,500 cases made.

The Estate

Pétrus is one of the most renowned and exclusive wine estates in the world, located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. Despite lacking an official classification, Pétrus is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most expensive wines globally. The estate covers a relatively small area of about 11.4 hectares and is known for producing a single wine, composed almost entirely of Merlot. Owned by the Moueix family since the 1960s, Pétrus has gained legendary status for its wines' exceptional quality, rarity, and aging potential.

Blue Clay Masters Nature's Challenge

At Pétrus, the 2006 season was marked by a hot July followed by a relatively cool and cloudy August, demanding meticulous vineyard management from the estate team. The property's famous blue clay soils proved instrumental in regulating water supply to the old-vine Merlot during irregular weather patterns, while the warm, dry September provided crucial final ripening conditions. Strict selection and precise harvest timing resulted in wines of classical proportions.

Clay Plateau Drives Quality

The unique blue clay soils of the plateau regulated water stress during the challenging spring and uneven summer. September's warmth allowed the old-vine Merlot to achieve full phenolic ripeness on this elevated site. The wine delivers black fruit intensity, ferrous minerality, and the profound depth that defines Pétrus's singular terroir.

Summer Heat Shapes Character

Early seasonal heat and dry conditions in Pomerol tested vines, but Pétrus's deep blue clay soils provided crucial water regulation through summer stress. The plateau's natural cooling influences balanced the warm vintage conditions, particularly beneficial for the estate's old-vine Merlot. The wine delivers intense dark fruits, crushed stone minerality, and the property's signature iron-tinged power.
