VINTAGE REPORT 2009 POMEROL

Berrouet, originally winemaker at  Château Cheval Blanc has taken over winemaking at Pétrus,

The weather conditions were almost perfect. For us at Pétrus, it was the first time we had so much time between grapes turning red and picking. Instead of 45 days, it was about 60 days. The vintage called for this, it was not our call.
— Olivier Berrouet, who director of Petrus for the 2009 vintage echoed many winemakers in Pomerol
After this vintage, I can probably retire.
— Olivier Berrouet
