Château Pétrus – Pomerol (Unclassified Growth)

Château Pétrus is probably the world's most famous and most coveted fine wine. The wines of Pomerol have never been classified, and Château Pétrus is therefore considered an Unclassified Growth. A multitude of factors account for the quality of this wine, including the age of the vines (about 45 years), the concentration of iron oxide in the soil, which lends finesse and complexity, and the masterful skill of the estate's winemakers. The small vineyards (only 12 hectares) are planted with 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged for twenty-two months in new oak barrels.
