此堡是波爾多紅酒中最有身價的一款，不管年份的好壞，每瓶出廠價就超過一萬元台幣以上。這許多的成就得歸功於Madame Loubat魯芭夫人，當她於1925年由Arnaud家族收購Petrus時，她的排名還在Vieux Chateau Certan老色丹堡之後。因為魯芭夫人的社交手腕，將Petrus帶到英國上流社會，並成為英國皇室爭相取得的佳釀。1961年魯芭夫人過世但無後，遂將此堡分為三份，一份出售給釀酒甚有成就的Moueix家族，另兩份由侄兒繼承，1964年Moueix又取得了其中一位的繼承權，而成為經營者。此酒幾乎釀自100%的美露品種，但卻是款強有勁的甘泉，釀造期每三個月還不惜成本地更換不同的橡木桶，以吸取不同的香氣，所釀之酒豐富、複雜，帶松露、巧克力、花香、黑莓與濃厚的單寧，細膩中又帶集中感，變化無窮，讓人回味也無窮。

A magical effort from Petrus, the 2000 has continued to gain weight and stature. From the bottle, it is a perfect wine, much like the 1998. The color is inky plum/purple to the rim and the nose, which starts slowly, begins to roar after several minutes, offering up scents of smoke, blackberries, cherries, licorice, and an unmistakable truffle/underbrush element. On the palate, this enormous effort is reminiscent of dry vintage port, with fabulous ripeness, a huge, unctuous texture, enormous body, and a colossal 65-second finish. I did not have the benefit of tasting it side by side with the equally perfect 1998, but it appears the 2000 is a more massive, macho/masculine wine, with more obvious tannin and structure than the seamless 1998. It is another wine to add to the legacy of the great vintages of Petrus. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050. NOTE: The passing of a legend. Jean-Pierre Moueix, 1913-2003, passed away the weekend of March 29-30. A noble and erudite man, he single-handedly established the reputation for Pomerol. Founding his negociant firm in Libourne in 1937, he developed a marketplace in Belgium and northern Europe for many of the area's greatest wines. His success led to the purchase of many of the better vineyards, most renowned of which were Trotanoy (1953), La Fleur-Petrus (1953), Magdelaine (1954), and Petrus, partially owned until its outright acquisition in 2002. Jean-Pierre Moueix and his two sons, Christian and Jean-Francois, were the cornerstones of my early education of the wines of Pomerol. As a beneficiary of his wisdom and generosity, I shall always remember him as a visionary as well as a great man. His death symbolizes the end of an extraordinary life and era. |
