2022 Pétrus: Pomerol Blue Clay Majesty

The 2022 Pétrus Pomerol Rouge 750ml captures the aristocratic power and seamless harmony of a monumental modern Right Bank harvest. In particular, the estate’s rare buttonhole of smectite blue clay retained optimal moisture during the summer heat, ensuring effortless vine health. In addition, the 2022 vintage yielded exceptional fruit saturation, velvety tannins, and decades of cellar potential.

Tasting Notes for 2022 Pétrus

The wine opens with commanding aromas of ripe black cherry, crème de cassis, dark chocolate, cedarwood, and sweet tobacco. Furthermore, complex accents of black truffle, graphite, and exotic spices develop in the glass. On the palate, cashmere-like tannins support a rich, concentrated core of dark bramble berries. Consequently, the finish lingers with noble length, refreshing acidity, and polished Pomerol poise.
