Slim and muscular, juicy, white pepper spice, a little overly austere compared to the wonderful 2022, 2016 and 2010 vintage of this wine, but still a great quality glass that slowly but surely stretches out. and invites you to enjoy. 25% new oak, 3.52 pH, 31 hl/ha, 5.1% press wine. Harvest 30 September to 9 October, Mikaël Georges technical director, 31hl/ha yield. New cellars in operation (as of 2023, all gravity fed, and where 40 tanks now over 100 tanks of differing sizes).
The 2024 Le Petit Lion is soft, supple and easygoing, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Floral top notes and bright red/purplish fruit are nicely delineated. There's very good balance here. The pliant, creamy finish is quite attractive.
A blend dominated by 62% Merlot, the 2024 Le Petit Lion exhibits aromas of cassis, cherries and cigar box, followed by a medium-bodied, taut but layered palate. It's a solid effort, even if it obviously lacks the plenitude and maturity of the grand vin.
The 2024 Le Petit Lion was raised for 14 months in 25% new oak barrels. The nose reveals a touch of undergrowth infused with mainly black fruit, as touches of melted tar develop with time. The palate is medium-bodied with insistent grip on the entry, quite fluid and harmonious towards the finish as the expressive Merlot imparts flesh. This is a capable Deuxième Vin.
