Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 93+
The 2020 Petit Village was much talked about on the place de Bordeaux, so I was curious to taste it. On first encounter last summer, it appeared to be rather chunky and extracted, but while waiting for the delivery of a new novelty shape bottle, the wine was obliged to spend a prolonged period in tank, and it seems to have acquired some additional polish and integration in the process. Exhibiting aromas of minty blackberries, cassis, spices and creamy new oak, it’s full-bodied, rich and layered, with a creamy, textural profile and good depth at the core. This is still a big-boned vision of Pomerol, but it has turned out better than I anticipated last summer.

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez tres aromatique et assez subtil, au fruite pur et mur. Bouche tout en velours avec de l eclat dans le fruit et une jolie finale au moelleux exemplaire et tres attachant qui pourrait devenir une des nouvelles vertus de ce cru qui a change de mains. Longueur normale. Pour l instant le vin de presse n a pas ete rajoute. Il pourrait lui donner une dimension supplementaire en finale. Un beau succes du cru. Assemblage : 60 % merlot, 32 % cabernet franc, 8 % cabernet sauvignon. Degre d alcool : 14 5. pH : 3,8. Rendement : 27hl/ha. Production : 50 % de la recolte.
