Ideal Wine Company Brings You Our Wine of the Month: Chateau Petrus 2001

At the Ideal Wine Company we’re just like the rest of you; we all love our wine, however, we do tend to play favourites every once in a while, and we do tend to have our wines of the month. This is a bottle that for one month we feature prominently and we choose this wine based on the quality of the drink. We always strive to ensure that when we pick our wine of the month, we pick something that we know is going to excite your palette and have you coming back for more. We always make sure we pick something that is going to have you reeling

The bottle we have for you this month is one that we’re sure will set pulses racing; the bottle is the Chateau Petrus 2001. Originating form classic area Libournais in the typical wine making region of Bordeaux in France, the bottle is of the merlot grape and of the Pomerol appellation and has grown in the ten years it has been on the market to have developed a stellar reputation as a rich vintage that dances on the tongue and delights all those who drink it, meaning that they all come back for more.

On our website we define the Pomerol as exhibiting “more depth and richness than any other Pomerol I (the reviewer) has tasted. It’s deep saturated ruby/plum/purple colour is accompanied by a tight but promising bouquet of vanilla, cherry liqueur, melted liquorice, black currants and notions of truffles and earth.” The review goes on to elaborate that it is “rich full-bodied, and surprisingly thick as well as intense”. This wine is unbelievably complex; it’s variety of texture and flavour means that when you buy a bottle of this luxury product, you are not just buying a wine, you are buying an experience.

We advise you to cellar it for 3-6 years and then drink over an extended period of time. Like all the best wines, this is a vintage that you need to let age a little before you pop the cork, and trust us, it will be worth the wait when that first drop of complex drink hits your tongue. All the best things in life are, after all, truly worth the wait. As with everything else at the Ideal Wine Company, you are paying for quality and rarity when you buy from us and this bottle comes at you for the collector’s price of £1548, a steal when thinking of what this truly beautiful wine will do for your collection.


So what are you waiting for? You need to embrace the Chateau Petrus 2001 and find out for yourself why this Bordeaux product has come to capture the hearts and minds of wine enthusiasts the world over. We promise you that once you open up your first bottle, you’ll be coming back for more and more.
