The 2022 Petit-Village turned out beautifully. Elegant and polished to the core, the 2022 is a Pomerol of refinement. Crushed flowers, spice, new leather, cedar, mint and espresso are all beautifully delineated. Silky, polished tannins bring it all together on the vibrant finish. The 2022 spent 14 months in French oak, 45% new, with some alternative vessels thrown into the mix. The oak is very well integrated here, more so than it is in Beauregard, with which is shares ownership and the winemaking team. 01/2025

The 2022 Petit-Village has retained a ripe and slightly candied bouquet, with violets and peony aromas infusing the black fruit upfront. It's a little "glossy" in style compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied and perhaps less corpulent than out of barrel, with grainy tannins, veins of dark chocolate and mint chip and a sweet finish. It's not bad, although it does not quite deliver the complexity this château is capable of. 01/2025

Offering up aromas of dark berries, plum preserve and kirsch, framed by creamy new oak, the 2022 Petit Village is medium to full-bodied, with a sweet, fleshy, somewhat baked core of fruit framed by generously extracted tannins. It appears to be a wine without a very strong sense of identity. 04/2023

The 2022 Château Petit-Village is 70% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, offering red fruits, spice, and graphite alongside beautifully integrated oak. Medium to full-bodied, it has elegant floral notes, seamless purity, and ultra-fine tannins. Not massive, but wonderfully refined, it shares a stylistic similarity with Conseillante but leans more into red fruits. Aged for 15 months in 45% new oak barrels, this will drink well for 30+ years. 02/2025

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez moyennement aromatique, fruité et truffé. La bouche débute charnue et charmante, évolue moelleuse au milieu, puis prend un peu plus de fermeté dans son déroulé final. Bonne longueur. 02/2025

The blackberries and blueberries, ash and cedar are prevalent on the nose, flowing through to a medium body with a beautiful center palate and curated tannins that run the length of the wine. The texture and mouthfeel are exceptional as well as the freshness and focus at the end. Very balanced. Drink after 2029 and beyond. 01/2025
