A Quick Overview Of Château Pétrus
Château Pétrus is considered to be one of the most prestigious brands of wine in the world, and is certainly one of the world's most expensive. It is made with mainly Merlot, and occasionally Cabernet Franc grapes.
Château Pétrus is made under the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée of Pomerol in Bordeaux. You do pronounce the 's' at the end of 'Pétrus' (which means 'Peter'), which is unusual in French.
Note that Pomerol is a two-syllable word 'pohm/rohl'.
