“ Favorite ” was the unanimous choice for this Pomerol. The very intense color displays some violet highlights. The nose, complex and exceptionally refined, reveals superb notes of blackberry, sweet spices, coffee, and subtle oak. On the palate, the attack is smooth with aromas of blackberry, fresh raspberry, and black pepper, followed by a structured palate defined by refined tannins, whose richness is balanced by well-measured acidity. Undoubtedly one of the great wines of the vintage.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

About the wine:

Favorite was selected by popular vote for this Pomerol. The very intense color displays some violet highlights. The nose, complex and exceptionally refined, reveals superb notes of blackberry, sweet spices, coffee, and subtle oak. On the palate, the attack is smooth, with aromas of blackberry, fresh raspberry, and black pepper, followed by a structured palate defined by refined tannins, whose richness is balanced by well-measured acidity. Undoubtedly one of the great wines of the vintage.

About the estate:

Part of the Axa Millésimes estate since 1989, this renowned vineyard owes its name to the old buildings that once formed a small hamlet. Well situated on the highest part of the Pomerol plateau, its vineyard forms a single contiguous triangle covering 10.5 hectares on deep gravel soils coated with clay.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 92/100 (Excellent wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

With a fairly deep purple color, this 2016 Petit-Village still has a closed nose, from which subtle earthy notes, along with hints of plum, stewed cherry, chocolate, tobacco, and a touch of rose, emerge. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, straightforward, powdery, and lively, with flavors of fresh earth on the finish. It needs time, but patience will be rewarded!

Rated winery (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these wineries)

About the estate:

Owned by the Axa Group, Petit-Village—which has seen a succession of different management teams—has not always lived up to the potential of its prime location. Recent vintages, however, show a positive trend, with wines that are more elegant, more refined, and less “Medoc-like” in style. It seems to us, however, that the estate can still aim higher under the leadership of Diana Berrouet-Garcia, who took over as technical director in 2015.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 96/100

About the wine:

Attractive aromas of slate and stone, with a sense of depth and a style strongly rooted in the terroir. Abundant ripe black fruit with a smooth, velvety, and very deep palate. A long, classic, well-balanced, and powerful Pomerol. Best enjoyed starting in 2023.
