缘分。

这是20世纪伟大的一年，在许多专家的看法中，和1961年一样值得纪念。

1945年有其苦衷，战争刚结束，很多葡萄园的园丁战争期间被征召甚至命丧战场。 在敌对行动停止后不久也不可能购买新的桶和其他设备。 尽管如此，战后第一年的葡萄收获酿就了一流的葡萄酒，包括右岸的帕图斯酒庄。

Looking back

From the mid-1920s, Mme Edmond Loubat had been buying up parcels of Pétrus, an estate in existence since the 1830s, and by 1945 she was the sole owner. She knew perfectly well the quality of the terroir and of the wines, and demanded high prices.

The Moueix family of Libourne has long been associated with the property, though it was only in 1943 that Jean-Pierre Moueix was appointed a non-exclusive distributor for its wines. By 1947 he was the sole purchaser, a position his son Jean-Francois has inherited.

Although regarded as the finest wine of Pomerol, prices for Pétrus in 1945 were less than half those demanded for the first growths of the Médoc. But by the mid-1950s they were neck and neck, an acknowledgement of the estate’s reputation and consistency.

回顾

从二十世纪二十年代中期开始，梅德蒙·勒巴特（Mme Edmond Loubat）一直在收购帕图斯葡萄园，这个自1830年就存在的酒庄，到1945年，她成了唯一的业主。 她非常了解风土和葡萄酒的质量，并为之制定了高昂价格。

Libourne的Moueix家族长期以来一直与该物业有关，尽管仅在1943年，Jean-Pierre Moueix被任命为其葡萄酒的非独家经销商。 到1947年，他是唯一的买家，他的儿子让 - 弗朗索瓦先生继承家业。

虽然被认为是波美侯最好的葡萄酒，但是1945年的帕图斯的价格却不及梅多克的一半。 但到20世纪50年代中期，他们已经并驾齐驱，其声誉的一致性得到确认。

The vintage

A severe frost on 2 May did extensive damage and reduced the crop to very low levels. However, the summer that followed was superb, with hot, dry weather that allowed the harvest to take place early and in ideal conditions. The grapes were exceptionally ripe, and some batches apparently reached an alcohol level of 15%, but would have been blended with less overwhelming lots. However, overall quantities were considerably reduced, and this was the smallest vintage since 1915. While the vintage was widely hailed as great in the Médoc, it was also of the highest quality in distant Pomerol.

年份

5月2日的一场严重霜冻造成了严重的破坏，使葡萄作物的产量降到了很低的水平。然而，随后的夏天是极好的，炎热干燥的天气使收割得以提前进行，并在理想的条件下进行。葡萄格外成熟，有些批次的酒精含量显然达到15%，但将与不太多的葡萄酒混合在一起。然而，总产量大幅度减少，这是自1915以来最小的年份。这年份酒被赞誉跟梅多克的一样出色，也是整个波美侯最具品质的。

The terroir

Pomerol has varied terroir of fluctuating quality, but all agree that the finest soils lie on the plateau that roughly surrounds the church. Château Pétrus certainly lies within this magic circle, but its soil is atypical: it is composed of a ‘€˜buttonhole’ of rich, blueish clay that lies over a gravel subsoil which, in turn, rests on iron-rich clinker. This soil, being mostly clay, retains moisture, which helps to minimise stress in hot, dry years, but the gentle slope of the plateau also ensures the vines are well drained. Just a single hectare out of its 12 hectares of vines (there were only 6.5ha in 1945) is planted on gravelly soil. The dense clay soils give wines of power rather than finesse, though in great years Pétrus manages to combine the two.

风土

波美侯有多样化的脉动质量风土，但是所有人都认为围绕教堂高原的土壤是最好的。帕图斯当然处于这个神奇的魔圈，但它的土质是最典型的：它是由一个富含的蓝色粘土的“纽扣孔”组成，位于砾石底土上，而后者则依赖于富含铁的熟料。 这种大多是粘土的土壤能保持水分，这有助于在炎热，干燥的年份化解干旱压力。而高原的平缓坡度也确保了葡萄园排水良好。 在其12公顷的葡萄园（1945年只有6.5公顷），只有一公顷种植在砾石的土壤上。 密集的粘土土壤赋予葡萄酒相比丝滑更多强劲，虽然在伟大的年份里帕图斯会将两者结合起来。

The wine

For many years Pétrus has been fermented in concrete vats, but these were installed long after this vintage. The 1945 was destemmed -€“ which is not always the case here -€“ and then fermented in large wooden vats. Ageing of the 1945 vintage took place for 22 months in older barrels – no new oak being available at the time.

酒

帕图斯已在混凝土缸中发酵很多年，但这是在1945年份酒之后很久才安装使用。1945是€“去梗的-这是情况并非总是如此，€“然后在大木桶里发酵。1945年份的熟化在陈年的木桶中进行了22个月，当时没有新的橡木。

The reaction

Michael Broadbent found the wine disappointing in the 1970s but then changed his mind in the 1980s: ‘Hugely impressive, with a lively depth of colour, a bouquet that opens up gloriously… and, for a big wine, elegant.’ Also in the 1980s, David Peppercorn found the wine ‘still deep in colour, rich and powerful but with some volatility, and less complex than the marvellous 1947’€™. At a Paris tasting of 23 vintages in 1987, the 1945 came in 17th, although Edmund Penning-Rowsell rated it more highly.

In 2002, a group of Barclays bankers made the headlines for spending £44,000 on wine at London’s Pétrus restaurant, including £11,600 on a bottle of the 1945 vintage; it is not known how they rated it.

反响

迈克尔·布罗派特（Michael Broadbent）在20世纪70年代感觉这款葡萄酒令人失望，但后来在20世纪80年代改变看法：“令人印象深刻，活泼的深色，开瓶酒香四溢，酒体饱满，优雅”。也是在20世纪80年， 大卫佩珀科恩（David Peppercorn）发现葡萄酒的颜色仍然很深，浓郁强劲，但有一点挥发，比神奇的1947年份酒少了些丰富性。 在1987年巴黎品尝23个葡萄酒时，1945年排位17名，尽管Edmund Penning-Rowsell给予了更高评价。

2002年，一批巴克莱银行家在伦敦的帕图斯餐厅破费44,000英镑喝葡萄酒成了当时头条新闻，其中包括一瓶11600英镑的1945年份的葡萄酒。 不知道他们如何评价它。
