Château Pétrus 2001

Volume: 750ml / ABV: 13%

Château Pétrus 2001 is an elegant and refined wine from a vintage that followed the legendary 2000, yet stands proudly on its own. The 2001 growing season provided ideal conditions for Merlot, with a cool summer and a warm, dry September that allowed for precise ripening. As a result, the wine delivers superb balance, purity of fruit, and finesse. While it may not be as massive as the 2000, it is often praised for its sophistication, aging beautifully into a silky and harmonious masterpiece.

Tasting Note

Nose
Beautifully aromatic, featuring notes of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and dark plum. Layers of dried rose, pencil lead, truffle, and hints of sweet spice create a bouquet that is both delicate and intricate.

Palate
Medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and exceptional clarity. The palate is smooth and layered with flavors of red berries, cocoa, forest floor, and a gentle mineral thread. Elegant and focused with fresh acidity.

Finish
Long and graceful, the finish carries lingering notes of fruit, spice, and earthy elegance. A classic, more restrained expression of Pétrus with timeless charm.
