Château Petit-Village 2019

This is a full-bodied red with lots of blackberry and plum character and hints of black olives. It's round and velvety, yet there is firmness and tension to the texture. It's extremely polished, as well as structured.

Purplish purple. Lots of complexity and finesse in this bouquet. Pleasant notes of black berries, cherries, spices and violets. This last element is certainly due to the Cabernet Franc. On the palate the wine confirms the logic of the bouquet: it is fine and complex. Nice balance between the fullness of the tannins and the class of the structure. The wine is fruity, delicious and perfectly balanced. What a great success! 2024-2044.

Now under the same ownership as neighboring estate Beauregard, although this harvest took place under AXA Millésimes and winemaker Diana Berrouet-Garcia is staying on. This has plenty of luxurious Pomerol character, there are black fruits here, with some chocolate notes. Lacks a little tension that is perhaps a reflection of the summer heat, but this is a gourmet-edged, seductive wine. Tasted twice two weeks apart. Drinking Window 2026 - 2038.

Dark, intense and beautiful color. Moderately aromatic nose, ripe fruity, with a touch of blood as is often the case in this place. Melting and fragrant upon entering the mouth, the wine develops airy, tasty, very pleasant, with flavor in persistence and normal length. Blend: 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Alcohol content: 14°7 – pH: 3.85. Yield: 40 hl/ha.
