Decanter 93Jane Anson "This is an impressive Petite Eglise, has a sweet subtle spicing, lovely black pepper and great juice. Slate, black chocolate, espresso, mandarin peel, so many layers, delicious. 3"4hl/h yields. Harvest August 31 (earliest ever) to September 9, 60% new oak. Noemie Durantou winemaker.

Chocolate and walnut with hazelnut and berries. It’s full and chewy with velvety tannins and spices. Juicy and salty finish. Savory.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW "A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, La Petite Eglise 2022 is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of blackberry pie, baked plums, and dark chocolate jump from the glass, followed by hints of cumin seed and cast-iron pan. The medium to full-bodied palate is bright and lively, with mouth-coating black and blue fruits and a minerally finish."

85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. A little more complexity and structure this year. Red-fruit and violet notes, the fruit generous and flavour intense. Firm, ripe tannins behind provide a serious edge. Length on the finish. (JL) 14.5%

Neal Martin "The 2022 La Petite Eglise was picked from 31 August to 9 September and was aged in 60% new oak. It has a pure bouquet with dark berry fruit, pressed iris flower and light loamy scents. The palate is medium-bodied with seductive black berries and strawberries laced with white pepper. It's harmonious and sensual on the finish. Superb. 2027-2040"
