Château Petit Village 2000
Château Petit Village 2000
On the Pomerol plateau, addresses matter. Petit Village sits on the same clay-gravel ridge as Pétrus and Vieux Château Certan — some of the most valuable vineyard land on earth — and in 2000 it had the good fortune of a vintage the whole of Bordeaux still talks about.
Twenty-five years later, the wine has become what mature Pomerol is loved for. The plum and black cherry of youth have deepened into truffle, chocolate and forest floor; the texture is pure velvet, with nothing left to resolve. Smooth, seductive and ready to pour — mature Merlot at this level is one of wine's quiet luxuries, from a postcode that usually costs several times more. A romantic dinner wine if ever there was one.
At the table: Duck and game birds, truffle pasta, filet mignon. Mature Pomerol and mushroom dishes are one of the great pairings.
- Pomerol, Bordeaux · the famed plateau, neighbouring Pétrus

- The millennium vintage, fully mature
- Drink: now through 2030

Sommelier's Note
The 2000 Château Petit Village is a natural partner for truffle and wild mushroom dishes, largely because it already tastes like them. Twenty-five years of age have brought out truffle, forest floor and chocolate notes in the wine itself, creating a genuine mirror-match. Its Pomerol softness never competes with delicate aromatics, only deepens them.

Sio Bak
The 2000 Château Petit Village is an excellent choice alongside Cantonese roast meats. Twenty-five years of bottle age have turned its once-bright fruit into truffle, chocolate and forest floor, textures so velvety that they wrap around a char siu glaze rather than cutting against it. Its Pomerol origins bring softness rather than grip, which flatters the sweetness of the marinade instead of clashing with it. A quietly luxurious match for a dish usually reserved for beer.

Truffle Dishes
The 2000 Château Petit Village is a natural partner for truffle and wild mushroom dishes, largely because it already tastes like them. Twenty-five years of age have brought out truffle, forest floor and chocolate notes in the wine itself, creating a genuine mirror-match rather than a mere complement. Its Pomerol softness means it never competes with the delicate aromatics of truffle, only deepens them. This is the wine to order the moment truffle appears on the menu.
