Petrus 2016
Following a strictly manual harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery, where they are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation is carries out in concrete vats with 15-21 days of maceration, characterized by gentle extractions. The wines are pumped over once per day. After maceration, the wine is transfered to another vat for malolactic and then blended. The blended wine ages in oak barrels, of which roughly 50% are new, for a period of 18 to 20 months (depending on the vintage). Most vintages of Petrus wine are not filtered before bottling.
Petrus 2016 is considered a legendary vintage of Chateau Petrus, rated a perfect 100/100 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. The Petrus 2016 is a 100% Merlot wine. Petrus 2016 displays an intense, purple-black color in the glass. On the nose, this Petrus 2016 reveals seductive and layered aromas of blackberry fruit, black plums and baked blueberries. The black and blue fruit core is complemented by notes of violet, dark chocolate, licorice and cinnamon, along with subtle touches of pencil lead.
Petrus 2016 is a full-bodied Pomerol wine with a densely packed palate and firm, grainy tannins bound to soften over time. This vintage shows a bold freshness, remarkable generosity in flavors and a finish with lingers for a very long time.
