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。
WA:96 Drink Date: 2007 - 2050
It is interesting how this wine continues to evolve. Unquestionably one of the vintage's superstars, the 1995 Petrus is taking on a personality similar to the extraordinarily backward, muscular 1975. This is not a Petrus that can be approached in its youth (i.e., the perfect duo of 1989 and 1990). The wine exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by a knock-out nose of pain grille, jammy black fruits, and roasted coffee. On the palate, it possesses teeth-staining extract levels, massive body, and rich, sweet black fruits buttressed by powerful, noticeable tannin. A formidably endowed wine with layers of extract, this is a huge, tannic, monstrous-sized Petrus that will require a minimum of 10 years of cellaring. Forget all the nonsense about Merlot producing sweet, soft, ready to drink wines, because low yielding, old Merlot vines made in the way of Petrus and other top Pomerols frequently possess as much aging potential as any great Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine in the world. Look for the 1995 Petrus to last for 50+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2050.
