Petrus is arguably the most prestigious wine in Bordeaux, despite never being officially classified. Its tiny vineyard in Pomerol sits on a unique clay button that produces Merlot of unmatched richness and depth. Production is minimal — around 2,500 cases per year — making each bottle highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
