About this lot
The 1978 Pétrus is one of the legendary wines of Pomerol, Bordeaux, produced almost entirely from Merlot grown on the estate’s unique blue clay soils. Although 1978 was a challenging vintage in many parts of Bordeaux, Pétrus produced a wine of remarkable concentration, elegance, and longevity. Today it is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.

Raised in Portugal and educated in the United States, André has spent two decades moving between cultures, languages and cellars. His passion for fine wine and spirits began with the great Ports and table wines of his home country and grew into a wider fascination with the craft, history and provenance behind every great bottle. When he isn’t tasting or sourcing, he can be found driving the back roads of Europe in search of small producers and the stories behind their labels.
