Pomerol It is a wine-producing area called the Right Bank, due to its location on the right bank of the Dordogne River. Its southern area borders the Saint-Emilion district on the side. Almost entirely north, it borders Lalande de Pomerol, which produces Satellite wines, a similar style of wine. They use the same Merlot grapes, but the quality is higher.
Vineyards of Chateau Petrus
Pomerol produces wine using 100 or nearly 100 percent Merlot. The second variety is Cabernet Franc, not the great Cabernet Sauvignon in the Left Bank, but here it is only a “star”.
Pomerol received its AOC or Appellation D’Origine Controllee (AOC) in 1936. There are only 800 grape-growing areas. Hectares (approximately 2,000 acres) of wineries are about 150 chateaus, and most are small chateaus like garages or cottages at the end of gardens, many of which have barely made it to Thailand.

Before that, Pomerol was not in anyone’s sight. Villagers produce wine as a normal way of life. Until around the 1950s, Jean-Pierre Moueix, a sharp-eyed, diamond-brained wine businessman, saw the potential of Pomerol. Therefore, wine making was developed. until birthChateau Petrus (Château Pétrus) is an expensive wine with out-of-this-world quality. Let the world long for
