Château Petrus 1982

Petrus is a wine familiar to many and tasted by few. It is a classic wine whose trademark is balance, complexity and longevity. There is an emphasis upon low yields at Chateau Petrus. An average of just 4,000 cases is produced annually.

Jean-Pierre Moueix was credited with building the reputation of the Right Bank wines of Bordeaux and created a family wine empire that includes Petrus, Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Latour a Pomerol, Magdelaine and Trotanoy.

All the grapes are harvested by hand and because the vineyard is quite small, the harvest can be done in one to three days only. The selection of the grapes is rigorous and there is no second wine.

The wine is one of the most expensive and celebrated red wines from Bordeaux . Legendary vintages are: 1929, 1945, 1947, 1950, 1961, 1964, 1982, 1989, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2016.
