Compatibility

Petrus is perfectly combined with fine French dishes, such as foie gras, truffles, white veal, and more simple dishes of Spanish and Italian cuisine: pasta, Neapolitan roast, chicken in sherry in Spanish and others. Gorganzola and other blue cheeses, as well as Parma prosciutto ham, are ideal as appetizers.

Color

The wine has a deep dark ruby color with a slight amber tint.

Scent

A very diverse, alluring bouquet of sweet berries, dried herbs, cherry jam and chocolate.

Taste

Full-bodied wine, soft, velvety, complex and elegant, with pronounced, but very noble tannins. Excellent long aftertaste with hints of vanilla.
