The name 'Petit' shouldn't mislead anyone, because this is a serious wine that was fermented and aged traditionally in oak barrels. The grapes come from every bit as much exceptional vineyards as its big sibling, only from younger vines. A juicy, powerful and full-bodied wine with ripe tannins, good acidity, very nice use of oak, lots of red berry fruit, subtle smoky notes and sweet spices. (93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot.)
