Simply put, Petrus 2015 is a cut above the rest. It is such an understated, aristocratic wine; it doesn't need to boast with concentration or alcohol, it gently caresses and charms with glorious nuanced fruit, superb balance and the most wonderful lift. In fact, Christophe explained that extractions were quite complicated this year. The Petrus team always goes for a soft maceration to understand what they are working with and to be careful not to extract any unwanted flavours. The first 19 days of maceration didn't yield much aroma, so they continued for a further 5 days. They would rather miss something than push too hard and end up with unwelcome flavours. We can confirm that there is absolutely nothing out of place in this regal wine. The bouquet is wonderfully precise and detailed with aromas of pure loganberry, lilac, damson and sloe. There are layers and layers of gently nuanced fruit, minerals and a hint of salinity. It appears almost weightless such is the balance and harmony of fruit, tannin and acidity. A profound and yet understated wine - pure class!
