Château Pétrus 1982 – Legendary Merlot Red Wine from Pomerol Bordeaux

Pomerol, Bordeaux 🇫🇷 | 100% Merlot | 98 pts Jeannie Cho Lee MW | Iconic. Sensual. Immortal.

If ever a wine deserved its own movie score, it’s this one. Château Pétrus 1982 isn’t just a vintage — it’s a living legend. A wine that turned heads the day it was bottled and hasn’t stopped seducing collectors since. Ripe plums, truffles, velvet tannins, and a finish that plays on loop? Yeah, this one doesn’t age — it matures like royalty.

Crafted under the watchful eye of Jean-Claude Berrouet, this vintage captured everything that makes Pomerol sacred: old vines, blue clay, and Merlot with soul. It’s voluptuous, complex, and still very much alive.

🌌 What It Tastes Like:

• Color: Deep garnet with those classic brick edges that whisper “I’ve seen some things.”

• Nose: A perfume of black truffle, ripe plum, nutmeg, violet, and just enough anise to make it interesting.

• Palate: Plush and layered. Think dark fruit preserves, exotic spice, earthy umami, and tannins as smooth as silk sheets.

• Finish: Endless. Velvety. Transcendent. The kind of finish that makes you pause the conversation.

🥩 Pair It With:

• The Heavy Hitters: Ribeye, filet, short ribs — only the finest cuts need apply.

• Cheese Royalty: Aged Gouda, Comté, or something creamy and stanky to match the wine’s grandeur.

• Veg Elevated: Mushroom risotto or roasted eggplant with balsamic — because even plants deserve Pétrus.
