Chateau Petrus

Chateau Petrus

The Chateau Petrus was founded by the Arnaud family. In the beginning of the 20^th century, Madame Loubat purchased the shares of Societe Civile du Chateau Petrus. By the end of the World War II, she was the sole proprietor of the Chateau Petrus. The distribution of Chateau Petrus came under the authority of wine merchants from Libourne. The wine needs 3-5 years of cellaring.

Talking about vintages of the Chateau Petrus, its 1996 Vintage is in striking opaque purple color with sweet berry fruit intermixed with earth, pain grille and coffee scents. The levels of tannin are high and the style backward. The 1996 Petrus is a big and monolithic wine.
