Ageing potential:
Petit Renouil is a traditional style Bordeaux wine, extremely smooth and perfectly balanced. The
Renouil vineyard’s location on the steep hillsides of a valley bordered by the Renouil brook creates the perfect micro-climate to produce wines of excep-tional quality: never too hot in the summer, never too cold in the winter. The Ponty family regularly uses horses to plough the vines of the Renouil es-tate.
Generous and very fragrant, Petit Renouil does not require a long decanting time. The fruity flavor and harmonious, smooth style of this wine make it the most-widely appreciated wine of the Ponty collec-tion.
Tasting Notes:
Petit Renouil shows a dark red color with ruby glints. Best appreciated 3 to 10 years after its vin-tage, this wine will demonstrate a powerful and fra-grant nose marrying aromas of berries (strawberry, black currant) and spices. The palate is soft, well balanced, fruity and elegant, perfect for wine drink-ers who prefer soft and delicate tannins.
