Chateau Petit-Village
2012 & 2013

2013

Thanks to intensive work in the vineyard throughout the growing period, immediate responsiveness to the needs of the vine and faultless “precision winegrowing”, Château Petit-Village 2013, generous and fresh, faithfully reflects our fine terroir.

The wine has notes of fresh fruit and vanilla but is also floral. This delicate combination is already very appealing. The attack is smooth, tannins are noticeable but silky. The wine shows excellent harmony, with great freshness and a long finish featuring notes of fresh dark fruit (blackcurrants, blackberries…).

2012

2012 is clearly a vintage where the winemaker’s hand played a defining role. We had to remain relentlessly vigilant, and above all patient… It is often the most challenging vintages that reveal the true strengths of a Château: its history, its terroir, the men and women who work to guide its destiny.

Château Petit-Village 2012 is just such a vintage: elegant, powerful and sumptuous, already hinting at a superb potential. The nose is an object lesson in subtlety and refinement, with a fine balance of fruit and spice. The attack is dense and fleshy, expanding to reveal a generous palate of impressive maturity. Unctuous texture in the mid-palate, paving the way for a long finish which never loses its charming freshness.
