The 2017 Château Petit-Village is a beautifully balanced Pomerol, offering aromas of ripe plums, blackberry pie, and baked blueberries, complemented by hints of kirsch, liquorice, camphor, and chargrill. Medium to full-bodied with a velvety texture, showcasing rich dark fruits flavours and a long, lingering finish.
With a history dating back to 1785, estate gained prominence in 1831 under the ownership of the Dufresne family. The estate spans 10.5 hectares, predominantly planted with Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard's terroir, characterised by deep gravel and clay soils, contributes to the production of wines with remarkable intensity and finesse.
Under the guidance of winemaker Guillaume Frédoux and consultants Stéphane Derenoncourt and Marielle Cazeaux, Château Petit-Village continues to produce wines that reflect the exceptional quality of Pomerol.
What the critics say:
"The 2017 Petit-Village is all class. Sweet floral notes and silky tannins give the 2017 striking nuance and finesse to match its mid-weight personality. Time in the glass brings out the wine1s textural depth and structure nicely. In 2017, Petit-Village is marked by strong Cabernet signatures in both its flavor profile and structural feel. The tannins naturolly need a few years to soften, but this has real potential. Tasted two times."
"A tight, structured red with plenty of chocolate, dark-berry, walnut and cedar character, working together to create a complex and structured red with lots of fruit and chewy, silky tannins. Better after 2022."
