Bordeaux | 5 | 93 (JD) | HK$5,000.00 | |||||
Jeb Dunnuck (93)The second wine of this brilliant Saint-Emilion estate, the 2023 Petit-Figeac checks in as 45% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and was aged in 30% new French oak. It's a perfect introduction to this estate and has a classic Figeac nose of ripe cassis and darker Cabernet fruit as well as graphite, smoky tobacco, and damp earth. It's medium-bodied and balanced, with a polished, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, and outstanding length. Drink 2026-2040. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)Bright, deep ruby. Floral, perfumed aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, cherry, violet pastille, mint and shoe polish; I find strong merlot and cabernet character here, which makes for a complex nose indeed. Lush, dense and rather high-pitched; a lovely combination of sheer fruit and finesse. Still youthfully backward, but already shows superb sucrosity and silkiness of texture. Almost no sign of the new oak today. Solidly structured Pomerol, finishing long and subtle, with a note of chocolatey torrefaction. The tannins hit the palate late and coat the back of the mouth. This offers terrific potential. |

Wine Spectator (92-95)This is sexy, with beautiful ripe fruit and spices. Full bodied, with focused fruit and a long finish. Racy. So focused. Class. Best ever? Score range: 92-95 -JS |

Bordeaux | 1 | 94 (WE) | HK$10,460.00 | |||||
Wine Enthusiast (94)93-95 With its dark concentration of flavors, this is hugely dense, very ripe and juicy. There is a fruit salad of rich berries here, powerful, finished with some tough, dry tannins. |

Bordeaux | 1 | 87-90 (VN (AG)) | HK$5,075.00 | |||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (87-90)The 2013 Petit-Village fleshes out nicely in the glass. There is good depth and intensity to the fruit, even if some slightly angular contours remain. Crushed flowers, raspberries and sweet aromatic spices add nuance on the finish. It will be interesting to see how the 2013 develops over the coming year. Right now there is a battle between the juiciness of the fruit and the slightly drying tannins. The blend is 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2013, production is down a whopping 50%. Tasted three times. |

James Suckling (93)Quite an earthy, solid wine with plenty of power and concentration but a bit less charm than many of the 2014 Pomerols. The tannins on the finish are a bit chewy, but they should harmonize in time and there’s plenty of fruit in there. Better in 2020. |

James Suckling (96-97)This is a full-bodied red with lots of blackberry and plum character and hints of black olives. It’s round and velvety, yet there is firmness and tension to the texture. It’s extremely polished, as well as structured. |

Creamy-textured tannins with length. Really pure and focused. Very transparent. Finesse. Best ever? 60% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 8% cabernet sauvignon. |

Jeb Dunnuck (95)Another brilliant wine from this estate, the 2023 Château Petit-Village offers ripe black cherries, crushed stone, chocolate, and subtle leafy herbs as well as sappy floral nuances. Based on 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and aged 16-18 months in 45% new French oak (the balance in one-year-old barrels, 20% in 500-liter), it’s a dark, rich, concentrated Pomerol with a medium-bodied, beautifully textured mouthfeel, terrific tannins, and outstanding length. It has the class to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for two decades. Drink 2029-2045. |

The Petitjean Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 is a classic example of finesse and depth from one of Burgundy's most respected vineyards. Nestled on the slopes of the Côte de Beaune, this wine is meticulously crafted by the Petitjean family, known for their commitment to premium winemaking and a hands-on, biodynamic approach. The 2020 vintage embodies an exceptional expression of Chardonnay. Its intense nose delivers powerful aromas of ripe fruit and toasted almonds. The palate is beautifully structured, displaying a perfect balance of depth and refreshment. Opulent flavours of lemon, vanilla, and subtle minerality cascade into an extended finish that highlights the wine's complexity, showcasing an eloquent symphony of the terroir. A moreish addition to any wine cellar, the Petitjean Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 is a testament to fine Burgundian wine, marrying tradition with distinct elegance. |

Wine Advocate (95)Whilst I have tasted many vintages of Petrus, the 1966 Petrus is one that has eluded me. Finally, it appeared in a series of 1966s served blind and frankly, it's quality shone through long before its identity was revealed. You can consider this as the final great Petrus from the original vineyard, before absorbing part of Gazin in 1969. It revels in a stunning bouquet with graphite and bay leaf, as well as very intense black fruit that becomes almost Margaux-like with aeration. The palate is silky smooth with fine tannin, far more reserved and masculine than the 1964 Petrus, yet disarmingly focused and precise, hints of orange peel and morello cherry towards the pixelated finish. What a fabulous Pomerol, one that will last 15-20 years subject to provenance. Tasted April 2016. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)Winemaker and Pomerol deity Jean-Claude Berrouet has often told me how he considers the 1975 Pétrus as his first success, the preceding vintages more trial and error. (Those who have savored the 1964, 1966, 1970 and 1971 might beg to differ.) Yet the quality of this 1973 was undeniable. I had encountered it once before, a bottle opened for my brother to celebrate his birth-year over a decade ago when such off-vintages, eschewed by all but the reckless, were affordable. But I could not remember it being this fine. “You should not under-estimate the Pomerols in 1973,” Lord Bruce advised. Who am I to argue in such vinous presence? Whether a horizontal of 1973 Pomerol wines will serve the Vinous readership is another question. The salient lesson from this bottle was to never ever dismiss a bottle by dint of birth-year. Humans and wine alike cannot determine the year they are born. It is more a question of having to search harder in some years than others. |

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
