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.
Vosne-Romanée, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2021
A classic expression of the village, the Clos Frantin's 2021 Vosne-Romanée is fragrant with red cherries, wild strawberries, a touch of plum and a hint of violets. The palate is silky and pure, with bright red fruit, gentle spice and that trademark Vosne finesse. Polished tannins and a mineral lift keep everything fresh and beautifully balanced, leading to a long, elegant finish. Maison Albert Bichot, a long-established Burgundy négociant and domaine house passed down through six generations since 1831, now manages a collection of individual Domaines, including Domaine du Clos Frantin, one of the standout estates in its stable.
