Petrvs is one of Pomerol’s most discussed leading wines. It has a high proportion of Merlot, low production and sustained secondary-market demand in Hong Kong for mature vintages. Because of its high value, authenticity and provenance matter even more than they do for most leading estates.
The names Petrus, Petrvs and the Chinese name for Pétrus are sometimes used interchangeably. Valuation therefore begins by checking the label version and vintage. Dibao Wine first reviews photographs, then determines from the physical condition whether high-value buyback is appropriate.
For an older vintage, original case or clearly provenanced Petrvs, retain the outer case, purchase documentation and storage records. These materials can influence a transaction more than the vintage alone.
What Must Be Checked When Valuing Petrvs?
Pétrus is highly valuable, and unclear provenance is a major buyer concern. Valuation addresses risk first, then assesses the vintage premium.
| Priority Vintages | 1982, 1989, 1990, 1998, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2016. |
| Authenticity Checks | Label wording, bottle shape, capsule, back label, provenance documents and storage records. |
| Transaction Advantages | Original case, same-lot bottles, a clear purchase channel and a sound fill level. |
| Common Question | The Petrvs and Pétrus pages refer to the same wine; use the spelling shown on the bottle when enquiring. |
Petrvs Buyback Process
Send clear photographs first for an indicative buyback range. A high-value vintage requires physical inspection before a final quotation. Settlement may be made by cash or transfer, with a clear and confidential process.
- Clearly photograph the front and back labels, capsule and bottle base.
- If a wooden case is present, photograph the wine details on its front and side.
- For an older vintage, provide the storage location and whether the wine has ever been moved between warehouses.

Local Valuation and Collection Notes
In Hong Kong, a credible wine valuation depends on the exact bottle, its condition and clear transaction terms. Dibao Wine begins with photographs and arranges a physical inspection only when appropriate. If the bottle matches the submitted information, any change to the indicated range should be explained and tied to the inspection findings.
Collectors on Hong Kong Island, in Kowloon, the New Territories and Macau can begin with photographs. For high-value estates, older vintages or original cases, provenance and storage records are recommended. In mixed collections, Dibao Wine separates bottles with higher value, active demand and limited current demand so the assessment is easier to understand.
For an initial indication of buyback value, send Dibao Wine the front and back labels, neck fill level, capsule and original-case details. The more complete the information, the closer the initial valuation can be to the final settlement; if the vintage or authenticity is uncertain, photographs can still be submitted for preliminary review.
