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.
