Château Petrus

This is an eighteen hectare vineyard situated in the very best part of Pomerol next to, as the name would suggest, Lafleur and Pétrus. It belongs to the négociant house of JP Moueix having been acquired by Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1950, his first vineyard acquisition having started the merchant business in Libourne in 1937. Generous, complex wines with plenty of black fruits and hints of violet.
