Excellent appearance and levels. Acquired directly from the Moueix family “on release” and since preserved in a professional cellar under perfect and controlled conditions.

Pétrus 2005, a not so sleeping giant Has the Pétrus 2005 achieved perfection...? It has long been called “titan” or “sleeping giant”. It has been said and written that the 2005 was to be “forgotten” in the cellar for a long sleep and that the intervention of the corkscrew should only be envisaged after several decades of cellaring. Well, here we are: this 2005 Pétrus is now seriously entering the long awaited tasting window. Full and suave, tasty and appetizing, this 2005 still shows the immense concentration and controlled power it expressed from the beginning, but it now develops on the palate. It has gained in balance and has smoothed many of its rough edges. The penultimate vintage of Jean-Claude Berrouet, this 2005 remains a wine of super- latives: extraordinary, brilliant, enormous... and delicious. Acquired directly from the Moueix family “on release”, and since preserved in a professional cellar under perfect and controlled conditions, no less than 4 cases of Pétrus 2005 are offered to you to refine your opinion on this giant that is slowly emerging from a long sleep.
