Product details
Château Pétrus Pomerol Bordeaux Red Blend 1997 represents the distinctive character of Pomerol and one of Bordeaux’s most recognized estates. Located on the Right Bank, Pétrus is renowned for its intensely focused expressions, shaped by the exceptional terroir of its Pomerol vineyard and a meticulous approach to fruit selection and élevage. The estate is particularly associated with Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc, and its wines are known for their concentration, depth, richness, and remarkable balance. The 1997 vintage offers an opportunity to explore the mature character of this celebrated Pomerol, where structure and intensity are complemented by the development that comes with extended bottle age.
On the palate, Château Pétrus 1997 is described as deeply concentrated and richly flavored, with remarkable power, depth, and balance. The aromatic profile highlights ripe mulberry and black currant, complemented by fruit-driven character and spicy vanilla oak. Its combination of concentrated fruit, layered richness, and polished balance creates a distinctive and memorable expression of mature Pomerol. It is well suited to roasted beef, lamb, grilled or braised meats, and other richly prepared savory dishes.
