This Right Bank powerhouse offers serious structure tempered with a spicy, already complex character. Seventy-five percent Merlot anchors a blend with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering mulled red and black fruits, cedary herbs, loamy earth, and chocolate. Aged 16 months in barrels (30% new), it shows fleshy core fruit, succulent acids, and polished tannins that suggest years of graceful development ahead. The 2019 exemplifies why Petit-Village is a top contender in Pomerol.
