  • Goedhuis, April 2016, Score: 90-92

    A smoky, almost spicy nose leads to a palate of promising, ripe plummy fruit. This wine is made from 100% Merlot, and its tannins are chewy, rather that powdery. It has good substance of dark cherry fruit on the palate.

  • Neal Martin, April 2016, Score: 90-92

    The 2015 La Petite Eglise is pure Merlot picked on 24 September at 41 hl/ha and matured in 45% new oak. It has a vivacious, precocious bouquet for a deuxième vin, kirsch and raspberry coulis, a touch of orange blossom. It is not an exotic bouquet, but it knows how to have fun. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, good depth in the mouth, perhaps just a little pinched on the finish at the moment, but it will have its fingers pried open by the end of its élevage. As such, give this a couple of years in bottle before broaching.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2016, Score: 90-93

    A gorgeous second wine, the 2015 La Petite Eglise exudes raciness. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, hard candy, blood orange, rose petal and mint give the Petite Eglise an exotic edge that is compelling. There is a level of Pinot-like sweetness and overall purity here that is impossible to miss. This sensual 100% Merlot will give readers immense pleasure over the next decade or so. This fruit was brought in on September 24.

  • Decanter, April 2016, Score: 89

    100% Merlot picked on 24 September. Fragrant Burgundian nose and a gentle, caressing palate with polished tannins providing a light structure. Accessible earlier so enjoy it on the fruit.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2016, Score: 17++

    (100 Merlot) | 45% new oak. | 14% alc. | 41 hl/ha. The nose is a little muted and a little reticent and the palate is also shy and a few months behind where it normally is at this time of year, but it is clear that this is a highly complex wine. As with the Grand Vin, Denis Durantou opened two samples - a freshly taken sample and one from four days previous and even thought the assemblage has already been made and the wine has been racked in February he explained that every barrel shows subtle differences and this is apparent in these two samples. It is highly likely possible that this will be a mighty and particularly long-lived wine.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2016, Score: 16.5

    Sandy gravel, separate land from the grand vin. 45% new oak. Only mid crimson. Quite gamey and fun. Very approachable. Attractive sweetness and spice but without the concentration of a great 2015. Easy and floral. Fun. Drink 2020-2028

  • Tim Atkin, May 2016, Score: 94

    There’s very little to choose between the Grand Vin and the second wine at this stage, which makes this something of a bargain. Rose petal and red fruit aromas are complemented by fresh, grassy acidity, subtle oak and silky tannins. Lovely, focused Pomerol. Drink: 2022-30
