The 2019 Petit-Village is soft, creamy and open-knit, all of which give it quite a bit of appeal. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, spice and menthol are pushed forward in this decidedly open-knit, soft, Pomerol. The 2019 has come together quite well during élevage.

Plum, mushroom and bark aromas with some wet earth. It’s medium-to full- bodied with round, medium-chewy tannins that are polished and creamy in nature. Vivacious tannins. Very young and delectable at the same time. Try after 2025.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Petit Village comes wafting out of the glass with a drop-dead gorgeous nose of lilacs, stewed plums and blackberry preserves followed by hints of raspberry pie, spice cake and cinnamon toast. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and oh-so-decadent, it fills the palate with perfumed black fruit preserves and velvety tannins, finishing long and fragrant.

In 2019, Petit-Village is outrageously beautiful. Rich, vivid and so complex, the 2019 is also one of the best wines I have tasted here in a number of years. On the palate, the 2019 is ample and inviting, with layers of dark fruit that unfold over time. Hints of licorice, new leather and sweet pipe tobacco add aromatic nuance as this distinctive Pomerol shows off its undeniable charm. Tasted two times.

The 2019 Petit-Village demands a lot of coaxing from the glass. Like some other Pomerol crus, it feels a bit static at first, missing the joie-de-vivre I expected. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, quite structured and grippy, gaining more detail and precision towards a slightly earthy finish. I hope to see more charm by the time of bottling.

Dégusté le 19.05.2020 par Yves Beck
80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
Pourpre violacé. Beaucoup de complexité et finesse dans ce bouquet. Agréables notes de baies noires, de cerises, d’épices et de violettes. Ce dernier élément est certainement dû au Cabernet Franc. En bouche le vin confirme la logique du bouquet : il est fin et complexe. Bel équilibre entre l’ampleur des tannins et la race de la structure. Le vin est fruité, friand et parfaitement équilibré. Quelle belle réussite ! 2024-2044

Magnifique aromatique, fruits frais, fleurs et fraise, framboise. Bouche pleine, de beaux tanins, de l'énergie également pour un vin plus long que large. Fruité en finale avec de l'allonge. Très beau Petit-Village.

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.

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité mûr, avec une touche sanguine comme souvent dans ce lieu. Fondant et parfumé dès l'entrée en bouche, le vin se développe aérien, savoureux, très agréable, avec du goût dans la persistance et une longueur normale. Assemblage : 80 % merlot, 15 % cabernet franc, 5 % cabernet sauvignon. Degré d'alcool : 14°7 – pH : 3,85. Rendement : 40 hl/ha. 2027 – 2052.

Now under the same ownersip as neighbouring estate Neauregard, althought this harvest took place under AXA Millésims and winemaker Diana Berrouet-Garcia is taying 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, bbut this is a gourmet-edged, seductive wine. Tasted twice two weekd apart. Drinking Window 2026-2038.

With none of the Cabernet Sauvignon that has been part of its make-up hitherto. Sweetly,
florally ripe Merlot nose; full, rich, supple, finely tannic wine; an attractively ripe, fleshy fruit
core here, warm, sweet, succulent, generous, moderately complex, and with good fruit length.
This will be a very nice mid-rank Pomerol without too long a wait.
