Pétrus: The World’s Most Expensive Merlot Shouldn’t Exist
Sunday, 4 October, 2026
🎓 Prepare WSET exam with our app: https://distinction.winemakersshow.com🗺️ The Bordeaux Wine Map: https://www.winemakersshow.com/shop/carte-vins-bordeaux🎓 Learn wine, join the academy: https://academy.winemakersshow.comPétrus has no grand château, just a modest farmhouse you could drive past without noticing. It has no classification, Pomerol famously refuses to rank its wines. It's made from Merlot, the grape wine snobs love to mock. And yet a single bottle routinely costs thousands of euros, making it one of the most expensive wines on Earth. This is the full story: the Roman-named vineyard, the formidable widow in legendary hats who simply decided her wine deserved First Growth prices, the partnership that conquered America (and the Kennedy White House), the catastrophic 1956 frost and the gamble that saved the vines, the secret buttonhole of 40-million-year-old blue clay, and the bottle that spent 14 months in space.Watch the Bordeaux classifications video: https://youtu.be/AbhZdnAoFHkWatch the Saint-Emilion video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xktAzbt2Ms▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚CHAPTERS 📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00 Introduction 01:09 Quick settings about Pétrus02:21 The birth of Pétrus03:47 Madame Loubat, the widow who believed in Pétrus 06:23 The great age of Pétrus 08:06 The 1956 frost that almost killed Pétrus10:03 The soil of Pétrus 12:42 How Pétrus is actually made14:19 Space bottles & Billionaires, Pétrus today15:27 Why Pétrus really matters? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.
