Tasting Notes

Their finest effort since 1982, Petit Village has turned out a beautifully generous, succulent, fleshy 2009 with loads of ripe plum, black currant, black cherry, mocha and subtle earthy undertones. Round, flamboyant, dense and rich, with low acidity, outstanding concentration and purity, and a long finish, this outstanding wine should drink well for up to 15 or more years.

Score: 91

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2027 01 March 2012

This consistently under-performing estate has made one of its finest wines in many years. The opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2009 offers up hints of toffee, caramelized red and black fruits, and spicy oak. Medium to full-bodied, soft, round, and generous with abundant glycerin, this beauty can be drunk over the next 10-15 years. (Tasted once.)

Score: 88 - 90

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2010-2025 27 April 2010

A wine with sweet tobacco and blueberries and hints of orange peel follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a pretty finish. A little austere, but very attractive. Better in 2016.

Score: 92

James Suckling, - Maturity: 2016+ 15 February 2012

This is sexy, with beautiful ripe fruit and spices. Full bodied, with focused fruit and a long finish. Racy. So focused. Class. Best ever?

Score: 92 - 95

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2010

A blend of 75% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc, picked between 17th September and finish on the 13th October with the Cabernet, this has a ripe damson, small black cherries and just a hint of marmalade. The palate is medium-bodied, quite tannic, feeling as if there is more Cabernet than the 17%. A more masculine Petit Village, almost foursquare, conservative whilst another sample was smoother and more cohesive. Moderate length. Fine. Tasted April 2010.

Score: 90 - 92

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 April 2010

Great effort this year. A sleeper. Dark and intense, the quality of the tannins extremely refined. Cabernet component (26%) evident. Ageing potential. Drink 2018-2035. (17.5 points)

Score: 17 - 18

Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2018-2035 01 April 2010

Full, fragrant, floral nose. Thick and sweet. A little overbearing. Hard finish – very muscular. Not too alcoholic. 16.5 points

Score: 16 - 17
