Score 89-91/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025

Ripe black cherries, currants, cedary herbs, and loamy earth emerge from 2024 Château Petit Gravet Aîné. Medium-bodied on the palate, it delivers a pure, textured mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a charming, balanced character.

The perfume is quite floral in nature, with touches of spice, cedar, tobacco, mint, and red fruits coming through. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, pure, fresh, and salty. The finish reveals a strong sense of minerality, accompanied by a minty freshness that enhances its length and complexity. Produced from 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot, making this highest percentage of any Cabernet Franc blend in Bordeaux.

The 2024 Petit Gravet Ainé has a straightforward bouquet with kirsch and blueberry scents that gradually reveal a touch of cola. It just misses some complexity compared to previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied, lightly tannic and fleshy but doesn't have much grip. Though smooth in texture, it doesn't quite translate its 90% Cabernet Franc as well as, say, the 2022.

The 2024 Petit Gravet Aîné, mostly Cabernet Franc, is so distinctive. Mocha, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and macerated cherry lift the bouquet nicely. The 2024 is a bit strict on the palate, but that may change with élevage. This is very nicely done, if a touch reticent.
