The late Mr. Durantou's confidential Pomerol, made from a 0.6-acre parcel belonging to L'Église-Clinet. Its very high proportion of Merlot (90%) and sandier terroir give it a softer profile and an almost immediate charm. More rapidly accessible, without excessive stature, with crisp fruit and fine ageing, La Petite Église is a fine entry into the Durantou universe.
More than a second wine, it's certainly one of the appellation's best value for money.
J-M Quarin: 91/100 "Intense, dark red colour. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, subtle fruit. Meticulous on the entry, tasty in the middle, the wine glides across the palate before showing a little tannin in the persistence. Normal length." (April 2025)
