The 2020 Chateau La Freynelle Cuvée Petit Verdot is well-built and delicious. This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of ustic spices, black fruits, hints of licorice, and herbal notes. Serve it with a slow-cooked, savory lamb stew. (Tasted: July 3, 2024, San Francisco, CA)

A rare example of 100% Petit Verdot shows a fine example of how this grape now ripens more easily in an era of climate change. It is rich, seriously structured, balancing black fruits and juiciness. The wine is complex and rich, will be ready to drink from 2024.

Floral and perfumed nose of violets, dried roses, raspberries, chocolate and dark cherries. Full-bodied, with muscular yet polished tannins. Compact. Better from 2025.
