Château Pétrus 1999

Volume: 750ml / ABV: 13%

Château Pétrus 1999 is a beautifully refined wine from a vintage that is often underrated. Despite a challenging start to the growing season, a warm and dry September allowed for excellent ripening of the Merlot grapes at Pétrus. The result is a wine of harmony and finesse, showcasing the estate’s ability to craft greatness even in non-iconic years. It offers a softer, earlier-drinking profile with trademark elegance, purity of fruit, and an impressively polished structure.
