Product details
Pétrus Vertical Set 1971–2019 is an exceptionally rare collector’s presentation bringing together 48 vintages of Pétrus from 1971 through 2019, with the 1991 vintage omitted because no Pétrus was produced that year. Representing nearly five decades of vintages from the celebrated Pomerol estate, the collection offers an extraordinary opportunity to explore how the character of Pétrus evolves across different growing seasons while retaining the distinctive identity of its historic vineyard. Pétrus is renowned for its exceptional concentration, depth, structure, and precision, with Merlot forming the foundation of its celebrated Right Bank style. Presented as a complete vertical collection, this set is particularly suited to collectors and enthusiasts interested in comparing vintage variation and the evolution of a renowned Pomerol estate across generations.
Because this set spans 48 individual vintages, each bottle expresses the character of its particular growing season and stage of maturity rather than a single uniform tasting profile. Across the collection, Pétrus is recognized for its combination of concentrated fruit, depth, layered structure, and refined balance, with mature vintages developing greater complexity over time.
