波尔多右岸Pomerol 未曾有过列级制度，但产区中的Pétrus 绝对是所有爱酒人士耳熟能详的一间酒庄。Pétrus 的名字是为了纪念圣人圣彼得(SaintPeter)，酒标上绘制的则是他的肖像，手持一把通往天堂的钥匙。酒庄以最为传统的方式控管葡萄藤的生长，在采收前进行多次剪枝，并控制芽眼的数量，以确保每一串葡萄都能得到最充足的养份，粒粒皆为上乘的果实。但也正因为葡萄数量的控管，Pétrus 的产量极低，在葡萄状况不好的年份甚至会选择停产，坚持以最严谨的酿造打造出最精彩的酒款。

The 1961s have a telltale aromatic trait－ a distant seaweed/iodine-like tang that was present both here and in the 1961 Palmer. I did not discern a hedonistic Pomerol after 55 years, however, you could tell it must have been very concentrated in its youth with vestiges of black plum and blackberry. This marine-like scent ebbed away and the aromatics blossomed in a manner that all great Petrus do, the fruit changing slightly towards red in profile, mulberry and cranberry, all with bewitching delineation.
