The most prestigious estate in Pomerol — the 1945 is one of the most complex wines ever made.
Chateau Petrus 1945 commands prices above $35,000–$50,000 per bottle at specialist auctions, with a single case fetching over $157,000 at Christie's. As the most prestigious estate in Pomerol, it produces 2,500–3,000 cases annually from 11.4 hectares of clay-rich soil, yielding a Merlot-dominant blend with unmatched density and longevity. The 1945 vintage, harvested under exceptional summer heat, is ranked among the greatest Petrus ever and outperforms #6 Chateau Cheval Blanc 1947 in terms of auction frequency and scarcity.
