Petrus lies in the heart of Pomerol in Bordeaux and is managed by the Moueix family. It is known for a blend close to 100% Merlot and annual production of approximately 4,500 cases. Although Pomerol has no official classification, Petrus has gained strong international market recognition.
Bordeaux performed moderately overall in 2012, while Petrus retained a basic level of quality under difficult conditions. Any valuation still requires inspection of the bottle and its condition.
Petrus 2008-2012: valuation considerations
- Fill level: Check whether the wine level is normal; clear photographs are especially important for older vintages.
- Label and capsule: Label completeness, capsule fit, seepage and mould can all affect the valuation.
- Provenance records: Provide any invoice, original wooden case (OWC), cellar record or purchase-channel documentation.
- Storage conditions: Long-term temperature-controlled storage, the number of transfers and the current storage method directly affect assessment of the bottle.
Public market information is directional only. The final valuation is confirmed from physical condition, vintage demand, quantity and handover arrangements.
Petrus 2008-2012: handover process
- First provide the vintage, quantity, and photographs of the front label, back label, capsule, fill level and packaging.
- Dibao will indicate a valuation based on condition, provenance and current demand.
- Once details are agreed, handover can take place at the shop or by collection, with payment method and timing confirmed in advance.
Petrus 2008-2012: how storage condition affects valuation
Long-term temperature-controlled storage, an intact label and capsule, and clear provenance generally support the assessment. Provide the OWC or purchase record where available.
Send photographs and quantity details with your enquiry. WhatsApp / WeChat: 96737259.
When selling several bottles or a full case, provide a complete list. Different vintages and conditions can be valued separately instead of applying one market reference to every bottle.
All valuations are confirmed after physical inspection. Unverified online scores, drinking windows or investment statements are background information only and are not assurances.
More complete photographs support a more precise preliminary assessment. If the bottles were kept in professional storage, provide the related records as well.
