Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte. Grosse Pomerolklasse bereits in der Nase zeigend, nicht nur einfach fruchtig, sondern auch mit floralen Würznoten (Cabernet Franc!) aufwartend, wirkt sehr homogen im Ansatz. Im Gaumen Charme und Finesse, aber auch Power. Gehört zu den besten auf dem Plateau, mit entsprechender Konkurrenz. 18/20 2024 – 2040

Offers a juicy feel, with lots of singed anise and fruitcake notes out in front of the dark plum and blackberry fruit. Delivers ample spice through the finish. Flirts with the exotic side, but there’s focus and cut here.—J.M.

Composed of 71% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 15 months in barrels, 60% new, the 2015 Petit Village reveals a deep garnet-purple color and gregarious notes of crushed blackberries, crème de cassis and preserved plums with touches of cedar chest, black olives, bay leaves and Marmite toast. The decadently rich, medium to full-bodied palate is superbly supported by a firm frame of grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and savory.
