Petrus
Petrus is the defining collectible wine of Pomerol and one of the most valuable labels in Bordeaux. Its small estate, distinctive blue-clay terroir and global recognition give it a uniquely deep collector market. Production is a fraction of that of the Médoc First Growths.

SIGNATURE VINTAGES
1947 One of the legendary post-war Petrus vintages, renowned for extraordinary richness and scarcity.
1961 Another historic benchmark and among the most valuable mature releases.
1989 A modern classic with exceptional depth.
1990 Equally iconic but more opulent.
2000 A millennium benchmark with enormous collector demand.
Note: 2009 and 2010 are also modern reference vintages.
The Investment Case
Petrus combines a tiny Pomerol estate with one of the most recognisable names in global fine wine. Production is a fraction of that of the Médoc First Growths, yet demand comes from the same international high-end collector base. That supply-demand imbalance, coupled with extraordinary longevity and a long auction history, makes pristine provenance increasingly valuable as vintages mature. Petrus is included among Liv-ex's Right Bank Super 50 constituents.
