One of the greatest wines in the world and the summit of Pomerol. The 2006 vintage reflects a classic and structured style with an emphasis on balance, depth and gradual development in bottle. It consists predominantly of Merlot from the legendary plateau known for its rare blue clays. It is precisely these soils that give the wine its characteristic density of texture, concentration and softness of tannins. Petrus 2006 opens up slowly and retains serious potential for further ageing, gradually acquiring ever greater complexity and depth.

Compatibility

Ideal with dishes of rich texture: braised beef cheeks, lamb, duck, aged hard cheeses. The deep structure of the wine is especially harmonious with dishes in which concentration of flavour and delicate work with sauces matter.
Color

Rich dark garnet colour with a dense ruby core and light brick-red hues.
Scent

The deep, multi-layered bouquet unfolds with shades of ripe raspberry, mulberry, black plum and fig. With aeration, notes of leather, graphite, cedar, sweet spices and subtle nuances of coffee beans appear.
Taste

Ample, silky and beautifully structured on the palate, with soft ripe tannins and harmoniously integrated acidity. The palate is dominated by shades of dark berries, plum, fig, spices and delicate earthy nuances. The texture is dense and velvety, and the finish is long, deep and elegant.

94/100

Wine Spectator

This displays green coffee bean and raspberry aromas, with a leafy undertone. Full-bodied, with refined tannins and a pretty finish. Very silky and classy. Lasts a long time on the finish.
