Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 17 Nov 22
La Petite Eglise 2015 is 100% Merlot and is medium to deep garnet in color. It wafts out of the glass with a gorgeous perfume of dried roses, chocolate box, licorice, and underbrush, leading to a core of prunes and fruit cake, with a touch of dusty soil. Full-bodied, concentrated and with firm, grainy tannins, the palate is densely packed with flavors of black fruit preserves and finishes long and earthy.

The 2015 La Petite Eglise does not quite engage on the nose. Distant hints of red berry fruit laced with allspice and mint emerge from the glass. I am seeking more intensity and comeliness, which actually manifests with time. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and fine-boned, with succulent, ripe tannins. There is a touch of dryness toward the finish but there is more complexity here compared to its peers. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.
