Petrus Pomerol, 2013

Petrus is one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated names, and the 2013 Pomerol offers a compelling glimpse into the estate’s style in a more challenging vintage. Known for its depth, precision, and rarity, this wine remains highly sought-after by collectors and serious wine lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
The 2013 shows a deep ruby color with elegant, restrained intensity. On the nose, expect dark plum, blackberry, graphite, cedar, and subtle earthy notes, with hints of truffle and violet emerging with time in the glass. The palate is classically Pomerol: silky, refined, and layered, with polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savory finish that balances fruit, minerality, and spice. While 2013 was not a powerhouse vintage, Petrus typically handles cooler conditions with remarkable finesse, and this wine can continue to evolve gracefully over the years. Its structure and concentration suggest good aging potential, particularly for those who appreciate nuance over sheer richness.

Production
Produced in Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Petrus is sourced from the estate’s prized clay-rich terroir, which is a key factor in the wine’s distinctive depth and texture. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and vinified with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the estate’s reputation for precision and quality at every stage.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with filet of beef, roasted lamb, duck breast, game birds, or truffle-infused dishes. Serve at 16–18°C and, if opening young, consider decanting for 1–2 hours to allow the aromatics and structure to fully open.

Producer
Petrus is one of the most iconic producers in Bordeaux, located in the Pomerol appellation on the Right Bank. Though the estate has no formal classification, it has earned legendary status through its remarkable consistency, rarity, and ability to produce profoundly expressive Merlot-based wines that rank among the world’s finest.
