[Red Wine Notebook] What's the buy-back price for the most expensive Bordeaux red wine? Dissecting Petrus market trends

Pétrus is so expensive for several reasons. First, it is extremely rare; the Pétrus vineyard has a very low yield, producing only a limited quantity each year. Second, the Pétrus vineyard is located in the Pomerol appellation, where the unique growing environment gives the grapes excellent ripeness and flavor. In addition, the winery's winemaking techniques and traditional craftsmanship are extremely strict, ensuring that every bottle of Pétrus achieves outstanding quality.

First, let's talk about quality. Pétrus Winery places great emphasis on quality, selecting only the best grapes. Many famous châteaux in Bordeaux decide how many second wines, or even third and fourth wines, to produce based on the vintage and the age of the vines, but Pétrus has always "presented itself as the grand vin." If the grape quality is not good in a particular year, they simply do not make the grand vin, as was the case in 1991.

Next, let's talk about production. Scarcity drives value. Compared to Lafite's grand vin, which averages 200,000 bottles per year, Pétrus's annual average production is only about 42,000 bottles. Pétrus from good vintages has always been a favorite of investors and collectors, and it is also a high-price creator at Sotheby's and Christie's fine wine auctions. On the international price comparison website Wine Searcher, a bottle of Lafite's grand vin has an average pre-tax price of just over 6,000 yuan, while Pétrus reaches 18,000 yuan.

In addition, with limited purchasing channels, the price of Pétrus naturally rises. If you want to buy a bottle of Lafite's grand vin, there are plenty of online merchants for you to compare prices, but if you want to buy a bottle of Pétrus, there aren't as many options.

Crop & Vine secured a case of Pétrus (the ceiling low price in the UK market)! This wine has two perfect scores, and renowned wine critic Jeb Dunnuck believes its optimal drinking period can last until 2082.

Winery Story

Pétrus Winery is located in the Pomerol appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux, France, and is the most renowned winery in the region. The winery owns nearly 12 hectares of land and is one of the earliest wineries in the Pomerol appellation, established in the 1750s, named after the hill "Pétrus" where it is located. Initially, Pétrus was an obscure small winery, ranking only fourth or fifth even within the Pomerol region. It was not until 1925 that Madame Edmond Loubat purchased the winery from the previous owner, the Arnaud family, and Pétrus's brilliant journey began.

When Queen Elizabeth II got engaged, Madame Edmond Loubat seized the opportunity to introduce Pétrus Winery to British high society. With her superb social skills, Pétrus quickly became a sought-after new wine star.

Pétrus Winery owns 11.5 hectares of vineyards. The topsoil is pure clay, with a layer of potter's clay beneath it, and a deeper layer of limestone soil rich in iron, providing excellent drainage. The soil characteristics of this hill are unique in the Pomerol appellation, featuring a large area of very dense blue clay soil, so dense that the grape roots have to grow horizontally. The entire Pétrus vineyard is planted on this type of soil, whereas other wineries only have it in some plots. This is considered the reason for Pétrus's powerful tannins and firm structure, while also being soft and approachable. The primary grape variety planted is Merlot, accounting for about 95%; the remaining 5% is Cabernet Franc. Since Cabernet Franc ripens earlier, Pétrus is generally not used for winemaking unless the vintage is exceptionally good. The planting density is 6,000 vines per hectare, with an average vine age of about 40 years, some even reaching 80 years.
