The 2024 Petrus is a gorgeous, well-proportioned wine, with an equilibrium that decidedly favors finesse over power or volume. Rose petal, lavender, spice, mint and blood orange confer aromatic intensity. Silky tannins provide the backdrop for an absolutely beautiful Petrus. The 2024 is pure and total sensuality. Technical Director Olivier Berrouet added that he might reduce rackings during elevage. Today, the 2024 Petrus is exquisite. 04/2025

The 2024 Pétrus has impressive ripeness on the nose in the context of the growing season, with scents of blackcurrant, blueberry and iodine. Its aromatic profile touts a little more flamboyance and sensuality than those of some of its fellow Pomerol estates. Cashmere tannins and perfectly judged acidity frame the harmonious and poised palate. Whilst it does not contain the profound complexity of the 2022 (for example), the 2024 does retain the essence of Pétrus. There is a little more flesh and just a hint of spicebox towards the finish. At 13.3% abv, this is just a delicious Pomerol. 04/2025

Cropped at 27 hectoliters per hectare and harvested between 24 September and 1 October, the 2024 Pétrus is shaping up nicely, exhibiting aromas of sweet cherries and raspberries mingled with licorice and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, polished and suave, it's cool and seamless, with a layered, velvety palate and a charming, pure profile. The grand vin represents some 85% of the harvest, and it's seeing a reductive élevage to preserve the maximum of fruit and flesh. 04/2025

A beautiful wine, the 2024 Château Pétrus offers classic Pétrus notes of ripe black cherries layered with subtle graphite, damp earth, and violets. It's medium-bodied, with a supple, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. This is a terrific 2024 that offers plenty of upfront charm, and while it will be more accessible than some past vintages, it still delivers the depth and class you expect from this château. As always, it's 100% Merlot, aging in 50% new oak, and it reached 13.3% alcohol. 05/2025

The purity of fruit is very beautiful, showing raspberry and blueberry pulp as well as orange peel and hints of spice. Medium-bodied, this has soft, velvety tannins with green olives, wet earth, oyster shells and crushed stones. Long, flavorful finish. Like a new rendition of the 1985. 04/2025
