    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Always one of the best value Pomerols, Petite Eglise 2021 captures the intensity of the vintage perfectly with its notes of just ripe plum, sweet earth, damsons and kirsch. Packed with bittersweet fruit and minerals, this possesses a real sense of energy and wonderful purity. A really seductive and cohesive Pomerol. 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

    La Petite Eglise 2016 is 100% Merlot and has a deep garnet color. It needs some coaxing to convince it to show off its nose of beautiful black cherry preserves and juicy plums, plus wafts of violets, dark chocolate, and black olives, with a hint of truffles. Medium-bodied, the palate is wonderfully refreshing and light on its feet, nonetheless offering a complex, well-structured experience, finishing long and plush.

    The 2016 La Petite Eglise has a lovely bouquet of wilted violet petals and incense flanking blackberry and raspberry scents. With aeration, there is just a hint of balsamic. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. This feels fresh from start to finish. A fine-boned, precise Pomerol that delivers impressive closing precision. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
