To help him in this major task of renovation, he called upon Daniel LLose, Technical Director of the AXA Millésimes vineyards, and Marielle Cazaux, Technical Director of Château Petit-Village, along with their respective teams. Stéphane Derenoncourt became consultant of the property as from the 2006 vintage and brings his valuable advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt expresses the successful blend of the Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. Thanks to the Merlot and the Cabernet Franc, the wine offers aromatic complexity and a long, delicate finish.

Terrific clarity and allure. The palate delivers a seamless and fluid build of smooth tannins, carrying bright cherries, plums and dark chocolate through to a deeply classy finish. Superb.

Spice, smoky aromas and blackberry fruits are forward in this rounded, opulent wine that shows an extra push in quality from this estate. Barrel Sample: 93-95 Points\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWS94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOffers 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. Barrel Sample: 91-94 Points\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJD94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotes of cassis, crushed violets, spice, and distinct minerality emerge from the 2015 Château Petit-Village, and this Merlot dominated blend (there’s 10% Cabernet Franc) is medium to full-bodied, elegant, and seamless on the palate. With fine, polished tannin, the freshness and purity that’s the hallmark of the vintage, and integrated tannin, it’s a rock-star of a Pomerol to drink anytime over the coming 20+ years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRP92\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2015 Petit Village is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the first wine to be made by Diana Garcia-Berrouet (the daughter-in-law of Jean-Claude for those that recognize the appended name). It has a straightforward black cherry and iodine-scented bouquet that needs to muster a little more complexity given the terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, perhaps more filigree than previous vintages. Given the precocity on the Right Bank, I would have liked more depth on the finish, though it is well balanced with ample freshness on the finish. It is a Pomerol estate that just needs to find its \"groove.\" Barrel Sample: 90-92 Points\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD92\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA new winemaker and added refinement this year. Fragrant and floral with rounded tannins enrobed by ripe, zesty fruit. Has length and harmony; very complete. Barrel Sample.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Petit-Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43167797838048,"sku":"111966","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-petit-village-pomerol_1_887b21a1-219b-4b82-90e2-6ab15ace033d.jpg?v=1663884400","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-petit-village-pomerol-2015-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
