RATINGS

3.8

APPEARANCE
Bright ruby in the glass.

NOSE
Good development on the nose, where dark fruits leaves space to spices and some light toasted notes.

PALATE
Dry, vibrant palate with intense notes of ripe plum, vanilla, and savory earth.

AGEING
Unlike the flagship label which undergoes extensive barrel aging, the Petit Picoron is aged with only a “hint” of French oak.

PAIRING
Its racy tannins and bold dark fruit make it a flexible “Right Bank” red for both refined and rustic meals. Think of a grilled rib eye or a classic Côte de Boeuf.
