Château Petit-Village 2017
The 2017 Château Petit-Village is a beautifully balanced Pomerol, offering aromas of ripe plums, blackberry pie, and baked blueberries, complemented by hints of kirsch, liquorice, camphor, and chargrill. Medium to full-bodied with a velvety texture, showcasing rich dark fruits flavours and a long, lingering finish. With a history dating back to 1785, the estate gained prominence in 1831 under the ownership of the Dufresne family. The estate spans 10.5 hectares, predominantly planted with Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard's terroir, characterised by deep gravel and clay soils, contributes to the production of wines with remarkable intensity and finesse. Under the guidance of winemaker Guillaume Frédoux and consultants Stéphane Derenoncourt and Marielle Cazeaux, Château Petit-Village continues to produce wines that reflect the exceptional quality of Pomerol.
JCP Maltus, Château Teyssier, (Magnum) 2015
JCP Maltus is the personal project of our friend Jonathan Maltus, the British entrepreneur who arrived in Saint-Émilion in the late 1990s and proceeded to do things his own way. Based at Château Teyssier on the limestone plateau, this is a wine that has always operated at the ambitious end of the Maltus portfolio — low yields, meticulous selection, and the kind of concentration that right-bank Merlot delivers when it's pushed hard. The 2015 vintage gave him exceptional raw material: a warm, dry summer that built fruit intensity without sacrificing freshness, and a harvest picked at near-perfect ripeness. A decade on, this is in a lovely spot. The primary fruit is integrating, the oak has knitted in, and there's a composed, almost meditative quality to it now — dark plum, graphite, a whisper of iron and dried herbs. The tannins are polished but still purposeful.
