Vibrant and energetic wine with juicy blue plums and black cherries followed by violets, Christmas spices, cocoa and a touch of fresh herbs. Some hazelnut. Full- to medium-bodied, bright acidity with finely grained tannins that are polished and textured. Wonderful concentration with a lively vibrancy and density to it. 65% merlot, 26% cabernet franc and 9% cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2025.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

92-95 The 2021 Château Petit-Village showed brilliantly, and this is certainly a château readers should have on their short list. Beautiful black cherries, raspberries, violets, and floral notes define the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a charming, supple, seamless mouthfeel that carries ripe, polished tannins, good mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's unquestionably a gorgeous wine in the making.

91-93 The 2021 Petit-Village was picked in several tries through the parcels, this vintage the first using a density sorter and made 100% by gravity. Harvested between September 29 and October 5 and matured in 50% new oak, it has a very pure bouquet of black cherries and blueberry fruit, crushed violet coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, the Cabernet component imparting almost Left Bank traits of pencil lead and cedar. Displaying good depth, and more cohesive than vintages that I was tasting five to six years ago, this Petit-Village demonstrates fine focus. Though it needs a little more fruit on the finish, it should age well in bottle.

Perfumed and concentrated on the nose, pure black fruit aromas scented with juniper, blackcurrants and black cherries. Delicate and graceful in terms of flavour profile but with robust and firm tannins that coat the mouth with a wonderful succulence and high acidity. This delivers a soft chewiness where you get a full mouthfeel with lift and vibrancy as well as a cool menthol finish. Sharp and tart strawberries and red cherries but also chalky and wet stone elements. Feels well worked but with energy and sculpting. You get the precision here, feel the cleanness of the fruit and tension in the minerality. It’s beguiling in its approachability on the one hand and it’s structured, knitted core on the other. Muscled but elegant.

Wine Advocate

90-92 Aromas of dark berries, cherries, sweet spices and raw cocoa introduce the 2021 Petit Village, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, ambitious wine that's layered and velvety, with lively acids and ripe but rather chewy tannins. The fruit of a rigorous selection, I appreciate all the hard work that's going here, but I wonder if a gentler touch with extraction might have delivered something more sensual. It's a blend of 65% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and it was picked late but very quickly, benefiting from the Moulin family's large picking team.

Wine Spectator

A fleshy, slightly reserved offering, with dark tea, plum and blackberry notes that meld nicely. The finish reveals a warm earth undertow and ends with a bay leaf echo. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2033. 1,000 cases made.
