波爾多右岸Pomerol 未曾有過列級制度，但產區中的Pétrus 絕對是所有愛酒人士耳熟能詳的一間酒莊。Pétrus 的名字是為了紀念聖人聖彼得(SaintPeter)，酒標上繪製的則是他的肖像，手持一把通往天堂的鑰匙。酒莊以最為傳統的方式控管葡萄藤的生長，在採收前進行多次剪枝，並控制芽眼的數量，以確保每一串葡萄都能得到最充足的養份，粒粒皆為上乘的果實。但也正因為葡萄數量的控管，Pétrus 的產量極低，在葡萄狀況不好的年份甚至會選擇停產，堅持以最嚴謹的釀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.
