96-97/100James Suckling

Extremely floral, with aromas of dried honeysuckle, white roses, black currants, raspberries and orange peel. Medium-bodied with tight and focused tannins that are very compact and polished and a persistent finish. Just a touch of salt in the undertone. The cabernet really makes this direct and long. A blend of 60% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 8% cabernet sauvignon.

The 2025 Petit-Village comes from the widest part of the "triangle" of vineyards and is matured in 45% new oak for 16 months, including 20% in demi-muids. It is a little reticent at first, opening with a mixture of blackberry and raspberry fruit, hints of pencil-box and light orange-rind scents. It takes a few swirls of the glass to get going, but it is nicely defined. The palate is well balanced, with pliant and supple tannins, fine acidity, quite linear in style and maybe just missing the precision of the very top Pomerols on the finish. But I appreciate this style of Petit-Villageless rustic and more precise than vintages a decade ago, perhaps starting to fully articulate its terroir. One to watch. Drink 2031 - 2052.

The 2025 Petit-Village is hugely promising. The two Cabernets are especially prominent in this years blend. Strong savory overtones, graphite, new leather, licorice, dried herbs and chocolate convey serious intensity. There's plenty of the 2025 vintage's concentration, but also enough fruit to balance things out. I am looking forward to seeing how this develops with élevage. Drink 2033 - 2050.
