Jeff Loo: 70% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 10% cabernet sauvignon. From the same producer as La Couspaude in St. Emilion. This wine offers sweet cherry, jasmine and violets on the nos...
Jancis Robinson: Dark crimson. Sweet like macerated dark berries on the nose. Thick and sweet and just a tiny bit like hot chocolate. Very flattering! Then a note of green at the end.
Wine Spectator: Dark, grippy and very tarry, with lots of pebbly tannins driving underneath the layers of boysenberry, steeped fig and blackberry fruit. Ample baker's chocolate and dark tobac...

Wine Spectator: Dark but pure, with a racy core of plum and blackberry fruit woven with black tea and licorice snap. An iron hint chimes in on the finish. -J.M.
Wine Spectator: Open and fleshy, with a friendly core of grape, plum and boysenberry fruit backed by just enough lightly firm toast for support. Should be another solid value for this estate....
Neal Martin's Wine Journal: The Le Petit Bocq has impressive freshness and vitality on the nose with fresh brambly blackberry fruit. The palate is fresh and well defined with tensile tannins, ebullient r...
