You simply cannot say one is better than the other and the joy is in the comparison rather than choosing a winner... One occasion, Saint-Emilion or Pomerol may shine brighter, but take the same two wines, from the same vintage, as little as a year later and the outcome can be entirely different... Vive la difference and compare these magnificent wines many times, not just once...

The people that complains about the very exclusive wine's price, let it be. They aren't commodities. They are luxury items, with the price driven by exclusivity rather than "normal" economic rules. The winemakers don't even receive most of the money. It is expensive, but it gets nasty at the secondary market and the auctions, where the price sky rocket.

[@vanman7805]

I must be honest, I was slightly disappointed with French wines. The imported ones I tried in South Africa was nothing special. But I contributed it to its low price tag which could only mean we just got the cheap stuff. Going to Saint-Emilion, I expected youth serum in a bottle. But it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. That being said, I’m not knocking French wines in any way. Im sure the super expensive stuff is pure heaven in a bottle. I might have just had unrealistic expectations and are too use to South African style wines. The added benefit of our wines are that you can get a really good bottle of wine at a really good price. For context, you can pay below 3EUR for a cheap wine. One of my current favorites is a wine from wine estate called Rustenberg, which costs below 10EUR (and that is considered expensive here).

[@ELICITE]

@@vanman7805 At the end of the day, there is always going to be a lot of individual preference when it comes to wine and as we like to say 'The best wine if the one you enjoy the most'. Because of huge global demand for French wine, especially those from Bordeaux and Burgundy, it can often be more challenging to find great value, especially compared to more up and coming regions, especially those from the New World. South Africa is producing some incredible wines at very affordable prices, especially if you're living there! Producers like Rustenberg, Rust en Vrede, Hamilton Russell, and AA Badenhorst (just to name a few) are putting out some excellent selections. To try compare different wines from different regions and put price out of the question, we suggest hosting a blind tasting of similar wines from different regions at different price points and then seeing if your preferences change.

Grant Ritchie i guess people want to put the word Chateau everywhere... you go to Petrus and you’ll understand why its not called Chateau Petrus on the label, there’s no Chateau, just vines and a recently built Chai. You can’t name your wine “chateau smtg” in Bordeaux if there’s no actual Chateau

[@peterlee2410]

You are absolutely correct. It should NOW simply be named as Petrus, not Château Petrus nor Château Pétrus or Pétrus. Let’s go back a little in the history of this great wine ... In 1949, the owner of the Hotel Loubat in Libourne, Mrs. Edmond Loubat sold 50% of it to Jean-Pierre Moueix, who had started to market it before the start of the war, but did not have exclusive rights until 1945. It is also with him that Petrus, especially after the war, began to gain the fame that we know him today. And it was also under his leadership that Château Pétrus became Petrus (without a château and without an acute accent on the “e”). The Établissement Jean -Pierre Moueix have since bought back the shares held by the heirs of Mrs. Loubat, who died in 1961, namely those of Mr. Lignac in 1964, and those of Mrs. Lacoste-Loubat in 1969. So it is not surprised to find on the old Petrus labels (I would guess before vintage 1950???), it is the name of Château Pétrus which appears. Maybe one of the reasons for his change is, there is no actual chateau in Petrus, but simply a cellar, or at most a country house, as Christian Moueix, the president of Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, has already modestly pointed out (Petrus now belongs to his brother Jean-François). They will add that Petrus does not take an acute accent on the "e" either. While it is true that Petrus is written without accent, there is, on the other hand, an acute “e” accent on the Pétrus from Château Lafleur-Pétrus. Hope this clarifies the name(s) of this great wine.

Interesting debat but in France we have so many "terroirs". The best way to test the wine is to bought one wine of every area.

[@1357MECA1357]

Chateau Petrus became famous only because Madame Kennedy loved it. So the price could explode with good publicity. More money best vine in spite of its small surface area. For the 1855 classifications, the quality of the wine is not really relevant. Surface area, quantity sold, beauty of the house, beauty of the vines, reputation. No change until 1973 when Rothschild paid for its place. Wine is business... In a salon of vin, near Evian, "Salon des vingerons indépendants", you can find beautiful bottles for only 7 Euro. A sauterne, one of the best wine of the world, 9 Euro... So don't paie to much for a wine.

[@ELICITE]

Have you done a tasting of Chateau Petrus before?

[@pragmatist165]

My response... French Wines prices are a joke, not worth the high prices. You can’t tell me a $1000 bottle of wine is 10 times better that the $100 wine. It’s absolute bull shit. The world is beginning to reject the French wine prices. And since COVID, they shouldn’t and won’t get the ridiculous prices still be sought .. except for privileged people. The history etc and landscapes and buildings are attractive, but the wines are not worth it.

[@matthubner5300]

Who is claiming that a $1000 bottle of wine is 10 times better than a $100 bottle of wine? The value of a bottle is equal to what the customer is willing to pay. French wine prices (as with prices for wine in general) are largely driven by customer demand. Prices of Bordeaux wines for example aren't high because some Scrooge McDuck French winemaker has decided to extort the masses. It's because there has been a significant increase in demand from around the world, particularly from Asia and the US, for a good with a limited and volatile quantity. It's not always the RuLiNg eLiTe or 'privileged people' that are pulling the strings, sometimes it's just simple economics.

@@matthubner5300 One has to acknowledge that at a certain price tag, the bottles are not anymore simple "consumption goods" but also become a subject of speculation and investment. How much does it account for in the total price, I honestly don't know, but it's a non-negligible part, while for a 30$ bottle it's literally 0%. That being said, I do agree, they are not expensive because the winemakers and sellers want to sell them that much but because they simply CAN sell them that much... And there starts the discussion about why are so many people ready to pay so much for certain bottles, even though, as you implicitely recognise yourself, a factor of 10 in the price does not imply a factor of 10 in the mouth or on the nose. When people buy a bottle of fine wine or cognac, they don't just pay a beverage but a piece of luxury. That's how you can sell relatively young cognac blends full of artificial colorings and sweeteners to people who have no idea of the relative quality of what they buy, by selling them the "dream" they can finally afford, for themselves, or even better, to offer as a gift... I think it's not that awful for wines as it is for cognac, yet I can understand that it is bothering for some people that they are no more able to afford a product they loved, just because some people thousands of miles away love to buy it for what it represents (instead of what it is) but would not see the difference in a blind tasting with a wine that is ten times cheaper...
