Petrus Pomerol 2013

About The Wine

An iconic Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation in Bordeaux. The 2013 Petrus stands as a profound testament to the estate’s uncompromising pursuit of perfection. Often referred to by critics as the ‘triumph of the vintage,’ this bottle represents a rare moment in Pomerol history where mastery of technique overcame a challenging climate. Due to a rigorous selection process that saw a significant portion of the harvest discarded to maintain the Petrus standard, the 2013 is one of the smallest production runs in recent decades—making it physically scarcer than many of the more famous 'blockbuster' years. For the serious collector, this is the essential 'completionist' bottle; it offers a unique, silkier profile that is entering its prime drinking window now, providing an elegant experience of the world’s most iconic Merlot while your powerhouse vintages continue to age. 

Known for its elegance, depth, and finesse, this vintage showcases a deep garnet color, with aromas of black cherry, plum, truffle, and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, it is velvety and layered, with silky tannins, concentrated fruit, and an exceptionally long, expressive finish, reflecting Pétrus’s legendary quality.
