CHATEAU
The oldest reference to the Petrus estate comes in the early years of the 19th century, long after most Médoc estates sprang into life, and certainly lagging far behind those of nearby St Emilion, a number of which have Roman origins. The name itself refers to St Peter, who makes clear his allegiance to the estate by appearing on the label.
It was during the early 20th century, particularly between the two World Wars, that Petrus broke away from the rest of the pack.

Outre le fait qu'il s'impose comme la réussite du millésime, le 1973 est le seul Pétrus des années 70 qui soit actuellement accessible. Dans cette année que l'on connaît généralement pour ses vins acqueux, issus de rendements trop importants, ce vin riche, souple et gras révèle une concentration sensationnelle et un caractère des plus parfumés
