Bordeaux wine giant P茅trus at Pomerol has lost the latest round in a legal battle to stop two wine negociant brothers using the P茅trus name on their bottles.

Bottles of Ch芒teau P茅trus can sell for over 鈧�2,000 and its owners started a counterfeiting lawsuit against St茅phane and Jer么me Coureau after seeing a bottle labelled 鈥楥oureau & Coureau P茅trus Lambertini Major Burdegalensis 1208鈥�.

The brothers, who run CGM Vins in Saint Savin near Blaye, Gironde, have sold the wine for seven years and registered it using the name of the first mayor of Bordeaux in 1208. It sells for 鈧�10.

Ch芒teau P茅trus said the name would confuse buyers but lost on appeal. It will now take the case to the highest court, Cour de Cassation.

St茅phane Coureau said: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think anyone will confuse our wine with the great P茅trus. It is a very good wine even so. We use Champagne methods, buying in grapes from producers.鈥�
