Château Petit Village 2005 is a Pomerol blend of 71% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Cabernet Franc from a growing season widely regarded as exceptional for the Right Bank. The 2005 bottling reflects the transition of the estate under AXA Millésimes, focusing on a more precise extraction of its gravel-over-clay terroir to balance the natural power of the year. Matured for 15 months in 60% new French oak, the wine displays an intense profile of black plum, truffle and dried herbs. On the palate, the 2005 is characterised by its dense, muscular frame and a significant tannic structure that has required nearly two decades to integrate and reveal its underlying Pomerol velvet.

Vinous
Medium red. Wild, distinctly animal aromas of plum, coffee and roasted meat. Plush and sweet, with musky plum, toffee and meat flavors and an essentially soft texture. Finishes with very good length and plenty of ripe tannins. Sauvage but reasonably rich.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008
