Chateau Petrus 1990

Product Info

The most expensive wine in Bordeaux had very humble beginnings. Compared to the finest Bordeaux wines from the Médoc, it is also a relatively new producer. Research shows that the earliest records of Petrus date back to the mid-1750s, making it one of the first wineries established in Pomerol.

The first reference is to a transaction with Jacques Meyraud when he purchased a Pomerol wine estate located in Gazin from the Voisin family. This is interesting and prophetic, as a few hundred years later, Château Gazin sold some of its best land back to Petrus.
