Château Petrus has confirmed media reports about the sale of 20 percent of its shares to the American-Colombian billionaire and investor Alejandro Santo Domingo. A spokesman for the winery told "Drinks Business" that the information provided by "La Revue du Vin de France" and the French daily "Les Echos" was correct. The sale had already been completed a year ago. The spokesman did not want to comment on the purchase price mentioned in the reports, however.
According to the report, however, the sale of shares is not a signal for the withdrawal of the owner family Moueix from the world-famous château. They consider the transaction necessary to further develop Pétrus in the future.
