Few, if any wines can rival Pétrus. They stand alone in a league of their own. There simply aren’t enough superlatives to bust out to describe it, and furthermore we only have TWO of these rare bottles…

Where do we begin? It has FOUR perfect 100 point scores. Not too shabby. And one 99 and one 98 tagging along.

They are not cheap. Pétrus never is. But as they say in Ferris Bueller, “If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up.”

Many people think it’s the best wine in the world. There’s a good chance it is. The pros below offer insight into the experience.

100 points - Vinous

“The 2018 Pétrus is a magnificent wine. There is not much else to say. From the very first taste, the 2018 Pétrus is simply magical. Dark, sumptuous and beautifully resonant on the palate, the 2018 offers superb richness, aromatic depth and intensity. Blueberry, spice, black pepper, licorice and earthy notes open up in the glass, but it is the wine’s vivid beauty and extraordinary harmony that stand out most. I don’t think I have ever tasted a young Pétrus with such silky, suave tannins. “We lowered the canopies and left more leaf cover to protect the fruit,” Technical Director Olivier Berrouet told me. “The berries were especially small. Cuvaison was a bit longer than normal, but we chose to extract more gently.”

“The 2018 Pétrus is a brilliant wine that has perfection written all over it, and it’s unquestionably one of the most powerful, opulent wines in the vintage. As always, it’s 100% Merlot and offers a heavenly bouquet of cassis, smoke, earth, graphite, and beautiful liquid violets. Full-bodied, deep, and opulent on the palate, I must have written “huge wine!” three or four times in my notes, and despite all its power and richness, it’s seamless, light on its feet, and already hard to resist. Possessing terrific mid-palate depth, sweet tannins, and a finish that ranks with the greatest wines out there, Merlot or any wine for that matter, doesn’t get better. If you’re lucky enough to have a few bottles of this elixir, do your best to give bottles 7-8 years in the cellar, and I suspect it will keep for 40-50 years.”

100 points - James Suckling

“This wine leaves me speechless. It has so much intensity and density with fantastic ripe fruit with spices, dark berries and walnuts and hazelnuts Currants and licorice. Violets and earth. Full-bodied, very, very tannic yet polished and beautiful. Lasts forever on the palate. Reminds me of the great 1998.”
