Eleven hectares of blue clay on the Pomerol plateau, farmed by the Moueix family and made almost entirely from Merlot. Pétrus never had a château to speak of; it had the soil, and the soil made it the most sought-after wine in Bordeaux.

Vintages in the cellar
Croian & Hein places bottles like this one with a small circle of collectors in Switzerland: discreetly, by appointment, and with the condition of every bottle described plainly before it travels.
