Petrus, one of the most highly rated and expensive red wines in the world, is made almost entirely from the Merlot grape. The 11.4-hectare
(28-acre) vineyard of Petrus is located on a plateau in the eastern portion of Pomerol, and yields among the lowest of all the famed wineries in
Bordeaux due to its method of concentrating the power and quality of the existing crop.
Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong’s Restaurant Petrus commands breathtaking views of Hong Kong’s stunning Victoria Harbour and is renowned
for having one of Asia’s largest wine cellars, featuring a premium Petrus collection and extensive vintages from other famous châteaux.
Restaurant Petrus opens daily for breakfast from 7 to 10 a.m., for lunch from noon to 2:30 p.m. and dinner from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m..
Reservations are strongly advised.
