Petit Village
Château Petit-Villages is a top Pomerol estate sandwiched between Le Pin to the north-west and Vieux Château Certan and La Conseillante to the east. The estate has a long history in Pomerol, dating back to 1785. Improvement at the estate began under Bruno Prats, and then ramped up from 1989 when the property was acquired by the deep pocketed AXA group. Jean Michel Cazes, of Lynch Bages, took over managing the property. While under the AXA brand, improvements at Château Petit Village took place including new vats, a new barrel cellar and possibly the most architecturally modern looking estate in the Pomerol appellation. In 2005 they appointed Stephane Derencourt as consultant. The tiny 11 hectare vineyard is planted to 75% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. Petit Village continues to maintain one of the highest portions of Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in the Pomerol appellation.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)Bright, deep ruby. Floral, perfumed aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, cherry, violet pastille, mint and shoe polish; I find strong merlot and cabernet character here, which makes for a complex nose indeed. Lush, dense and rather high-pitched; a lovely combination of sheer fruit and finesse. Still youthfully backward, but already shows superb sucrosity and silkiness of texture. Almost no sign of the new oak today. Solidly structured Pomerol, finishing long and subtle, with a note of chocolatey torrefaction. The tannins hit the palate late and coat the back of the mouth. This offers terrific potential. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (87-90)The 2013 Petit-Village fleshes out nicely in the glass. There is good depth and intensity to the fruit, even if some slightly angular contours remain. Crushed flowers, raspberries and sweet aromatic spices add nuance on the finish. It will be interesting to see how the 2013 develops over the coming year. Right now there is a battle between the juiciness of the fruit and the slightly drying tannins. The blend is 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2013, production is down a whopping 50%. Tasted three times. |

James Suckling (93)Quite an earthy, solid wine with plenty of power and concentration but a bit less charm than many of the 2014 Pomerols. The tannins on the finish are a bit chewy, but they should harmonize in time and there’s plenty of fruit in there. Better in 2020. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)The 2023 Petit-Village is one of the best recent vintages I can remember tasting here. Light on its feet and translucent, the 2023 possesses gorgeous mid-palate depth and fine balance to match. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint, spice and blood orange build nicely in the glass. Hopefully the 2023 is a sign of things to come for this Pomerol estate. |
