As a renowned Pomerol estate, Petrus is known for blue-clay parcels and a wine made almost entirely from Merlot. It has a rich, opulent style and silky texture; although Pomerol was not included in the 1855 classification, Petrus has substantial international collector demand.
Main factors in a Petrus valuation
- Documentation and packaging: Invoices, the original case and storage records can affect buyer confidence and the offer.
- Bottle condition: Fill level, any sunken cork, and the integrity of the capsule and label are especially important for older vintages.
- Bottle format and quantity: Large formats and complete cases are often more sought after and may be valued more favourably.
- Storage conditions: Wine kept in a temperature-controlled cellar and moved infrequently is generally easier to assess with confidence.
1998 Petrus valuation considerations
1998 is widely recognised as an excellent Right Bank Bordeaux vintage. Petrus from this year is noted for its quality and ageing capacity and has established interest among collectors and at auction.
Regardless of the vintage's reputation, the bottle's physical condition remains central to the valuation. The fill level, integrity of the label and capsule, original case and provenance documentation can all affect the offer.
To request a valuation, provide the vintage, quantity, and photographs of the front label, back label, capsule and fill level. Dibao Wine will give an indicative assessment based on condition, provenance and current demand. Handover may be arranged at the shop or by collection in Hong Kong or Macau, with the final offer confirmed after physical inspection. WhatsApp / WeChat: 96737259.
