WINE DESCRIPTION
Pomerol, east of Libourne on the right bank of the Gironde, houses prestigious estates like Cheval Blanc and Vieux Certain. Unlike the left bank, Merlot and Cabernet Franc thrive in Pomerol's gentle, iron-rich, gravelly terrain. Château Petit Village cultivates around 10.5 hectares in contiguous parcels encircling the château. Fernand Ginestet, the Bordeaux wine merchant, acquired the estate in 1919. The estate saw renovations and vineyard replanting from 2005 to 2008, enhancing winemaking and vineyard practices. The vineyard, 75% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, benefits from separate parcel vinification, "Pigéage," and 15 months of maturation, with an annual variation in new barrels. "Le Jardin de Petit Village" is the Merlot-focused second wine introduced in 1996.
