Petrus 2016 is one of the estate's most harmonious and classic modern vintages, made almost entirely from Merlot. The unique blue clays of Petrus give the wine its signature depth, density of texture and a rare combination of concentration and softness. The 2016 vintage stands out for an unusually balanced style with an emphasis on structure and freshness. The estate's main aim that year was to preserve the harmony and energy of the wine, avoiding power in favour of perfect balance. Petrus 2016 is among the estate's most sought-after modern vintages, combining rarity with outstanding ageing potential.

  • Compatibility

    Pairs magnificently with veal, braised game, lamb with herbs, truffle dishes and aged hard cheeses.

  • Color

    Deep purple-black colour with an almost opaque dark core.

  • Scent

    The multi-layered nose combines shades of cherry liqueur, dark plum and blueberry with notes of graphite, cedar, violet, Ceylon tea and cinnamon. With aeration, subtle nuances of cigar box and dark chocolate emerge.

  • Taste

    Deep and incredibly expressive palate with a dense structure. Red and dark berries unfold in waves, gradually moving into floral, spicy and mineral shades. Despite its scale and power, the wine retains striking elegance, energy and an almost weightless fluidity of texture. The finish is extremely long, complex and thrillingly fresh.

100/100

James Suckling

Graphite, cedar, mushrooms and dark fruit on the nose. The palate shows ethereal elegance, with fruit concentration that dissipates gracefully, while the tannins integrate seamlessly toward the finish. Exceptional. Open, with an elegant, subdued structure. Drink now or hold. 10 Years On retrospective. Jacobo García Andrade Senior Editor
