Tasting note

The 2020 Petit Gravet Aîné bristles with energy and tension. An unusual Cabernet Franc-based Saint-Émilion, Petit Gravet Aîné shows a bit more concentration this year, which adds to its decidedly heady, extravagant personality. Even so, all the elements are so well balanced. Super-ripe black cherry, mocha, dried herbs and sweet floral top notes meld into the extravagant, lavish finish.

Score: 97
