- plugger 5y agoIn the book it was Petrus which is 100% Merlot. They approached the chateau to see if they'd green light the use of Petrus as his unicorn bottle. The chateau refused, and they instead landed on Cheval Blanc. I've always been left wondering if the "I am not drinking any fucking Merlot" line was a direct result of the snub by Petrus.
