Petit Village is located on the highest point of the gravel plateau in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, on the outskirts of the hamlet of Catusseau. The eleven-hectare vineyard is in a single triangular shaped plot and the soil is composed of a deep layer of gravel on clay-limestone subsoil. The winery buildings and outbuildings are situated around a courtyard, forming a sort of small village to which Petit Village owes its name. Work in the vineyard and cellar is done with the greatest of care; operations such as picking, fermentation and ageing in oak barrels are carried out in the finest Pomerol tradition. Petit Village is powerful, yet soft and well balanced. It has all the incomparable richness and finesse of the greatest wines of Pomerol. 15 months in barrels. Clay-gravel. "...a seductive, hedonistic, plump style of Pomerol that will offer uncritical drinking for the next 5-8 years." Parker, 86.
