Its deep, ruby red color immediately captivates the eye, foreshadowing the intensity within. The nose is a captivating tapestry of aromas, unveiling a symphony of dark fruits such as blackberries, plums, and black cherries. Layers of fragrant violets, cocoa, and hints of exotic spices add further allure and complexity. On the palate, this wine exhibits exceptional structure and balance. Velvety smooth tannins embrace a core of luscious, ripe fruit, with flavors of black currants, blackberries, and hints of blueberry jam. There is an exquisite interplay between the fruit and the well-integrated oak, creating a seamless harmony. The finishing taste is profound and enduring, leaving a lasting impression of pure elegance and refinement. Château Petrus 2015 stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry that defines this esteemed estate, offering an unrivaled expression of the Pomerol terroir.


Robert Parker - 100 Points

"When I asked winemaker Olivier Berrouet about his greatest challenges in 2015, he replied, “Our biggest challenge is to avoid all the temptations you can have in the vineyard and in the cellar. You can go too far. With our job, if you go too far, you can’t go back. Little steps are best.” His comments eloquently explain the immense pressure of handling a seemingly pressure-less vintage like 2015 in Pomerol. But, with the devil in all the many details that are involved in the pursuit of wine perfection, if anyone has that devil by the horns, it is this incredibly talented young winemaker. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Petrus (bottled in mid-July 2017) opens in its own time to reveal crushed black cherries, warm plums, mulberries and cedar chest suggestions with touches of anise, lavender, beef drippings and wild thyme plus a waft of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with generous, exuberant, wonderfully layered red, black and perfumed blue fruits contrasted beautifully by very ripe, very fine-grained and very firm tannins plus an ethereal line of seamless acid, finishing long and minerally. Olivier Berrouet and his team have knocked it out of the park in 2015. Look for this Pétrus to build and unfold over the next 20 years and confidently cellar this legend for 40+ years."


Antonio Galloni - 98+ Points

"The 2015 Petrus has a fresh, detailed yet quite understated bouquet of black fruit, pencil box, smoke and light tarry aromas - very succinct and classy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, and linear and quite strict in style, which might explain why I knocked off a point compared to my note in January 2018. But it gently builds in intensity to a grippy, graphite-infused finish with that subtle Japanese seaweed tincture I observed previously. Classic in style, this will benefit from several years in bottle. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting."
