In Portrait:

Château Petit Village

Château Petit-Village lies in the heart of the Pomerol plateau, where highly prized soils of deep, iron-rich clay (“crasse de fer”) and fine gravel create ideal conditions for Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The estate has an exceptionally homogeneous, triangular parcel that is one of the appellation’s most distinctive terroirs. The wines combine rich dark fruit and floral notes with silky tannins, freshness and a characteristically elegant depth.

In recent years the estate has been extensively modernised under new management, with a focus on precision, sustainable farming and selective vinification. Château Petit-Village is now one of Pomerol’s stylistically finest and most balanced crus – powerful, refined and with excellent ageing potential.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
