2020 Petit Village

Château Petit-Village is located on the high part of the magnificent Pomerol plateau at an altitude of between 35 and 38 metres, on gravel soils in the heart of the appellation. An ideal geographical situation to produce very great wines faithful to this exceptional terroir. The past few years have seen major renovations and changes at Château Petit-Village. Significant replanting of the vineyard had occurred, with the long term aim of maximising quality. These changes have begun to bear fruit. From harvesting by hand to ageing in barrels, each step is guided by respect for the accurate expression of the terroir. The wines of Château Petit-Village are fresh and balanced with remarkable intensity of fruit and all the incomparable richness and finesse of the greatest wines of Pomerol.

A very precise selection in our historical clay plots gives a very distinctive and atypical blend with the highest percentage of Cabernet in the history of the estate. The wine has a very expressive and intense nose with a full body structure and smooth, elegant tannins. The fresh and harmonious finish reveals the best characteristics from our clay terroir."
