Château Petit Village (Pomerol)
Disappointing for the vintage, the wine is light in color and fruit, with a bright, overly fresh, red berry component that is there in the wine from start to finish. On the bright side, the wines being produced here today are much better. I would not be holding this wine for further evolution, as there is not just not enough stuffing to make it more interesting as the years go on. 3,013 Views Tasted Oct 26, 2016 |
When to Drink Chateau Petit Village, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Petit Village is much better with at least 7-10 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1-2 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Petit Village offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 9-20 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Petit Village with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Petit Village is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau Petit Village is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Petit Village is also good when matched with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
