The 2020 Petit Gravet Aîné has a deep garnet-purple color, needing a little swirling to unlock profound notions of preserved plums, blackberry jam and raspberry coulis, plus hints of tar, red roses and dried Provence herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate is elegantly crafted with tightly knit black fruit and savory layers and very fine-grained tannins, lifted with seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy. It is a wine of great restraint and with a quiet intensity that will reward the patient.

I continue to love the wines from this estate, and the 2020 Château Petit Gravet Aîné looks to be another beautiful wine in a sequence of beautiful wines. Offering an incredible Cabernet Franc character in its floral, spring herb, violet, and darker fruit-driven aromas and flavors, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, brilliant purity of fruit, and a rich, concentrated, yet precise and focused style on the palate...

The 2020 Petit Gravet Aîné dazzles with its extraordinary purity, focus and delineation. The Cabernet Franc is especially prominent in the 2020, a wine of brilliance and superb purity. Crushed rose petal, mocha, cinnamon, sweet red cherry and blood orange all race across the palate. A whole range of bright, mineral-infused notes punctuates the finish. Petit Gravet Aîné is an absolutely brilliant wine.
