Colombe is not the second wine of Château Peyrou but a special cuvée from a 4.5 hectare plot in the eponymous commune of Sainte-Colombe. A graceful and juicy wine, perfectly digestible, with an obvious and exciting fruitiness (90% Merlot). A big bravo!

An oenologist by training, Ms. Papon-Nouvel owns two tiny properties at the bottom of Saint-Émilion near Canon-La Gaffelière: Petit Gravet Aîné (2.4 ha) and Clos Saint-Julien (1.3 ha), where the vines are mainly old cabernets francs. From the vine to the cellar, she manages all the stages in the production of her wines on her own and, whatever the vintage, her talent as an instinctive winemaker gives wines of natural elegance and exemplary sweetness.
The 2021 vintage is rated 92/100 by N. Martin "Le Petit Gravet Ainé 2021 presented itself well as soon as it left the barrel. Dominated by 90% Cabernet Franc, it has a fresh, saline bouquet that manages to reach phenolic maturity. The palate is medium-bodied, with crisp tannins on the attack that develop into a creamy mid-palate and a very consistent finish, tinged with white pepper and garrigue. Excellent" (February 2024)

Rated 96/100 by Antonio Galloni (vinous) « Au-delà de sa beauté, le Petit Gravet Aîné 2018 est l'un des vins les plus uniques de Bordeaux, le genre de vin qui reste gravé dans la mémoire. En un mot : magnifique ! » (March 2021)

Mrs Papon-Nouvel's other grand cru (with Petit Gravet Aîné). Same organic culture, same sensitivity, same style, with extra flesh and depth. Great wine! Great wine, logically promoted to grand cru classé in 2022.
The 2021 vintage is rated 95/100 by A. Galloni "Clos Saint-Julien 2021 is sublime. Delicate, silky and wonderfully nuanced, Clos Saint-Julien is exquisite in this vintage. Lavender, plum, spice, menthol, liquorice and mocha are just some of the many nuances that run through this exceptionally polished, understated Saint-Émilion. It should be a great relative value too." (February 2024)
