Deep ruby in colour. The Petit de Petit-Village is brimming with ripe plum and black cherry aromas on the nose with subtle notes of spice. On the palate it has quintessentially plush Pomerol tannins and a bright acidity which carries the flavours onto the juicy finish.

Le Petit de Petit-Village is the second wine of Château Petit-Village and is sourced from a selection of younger Merlot vines and parcels that deliver softer, slightly less concentrated fruit. It is made by the same winemaking team, with the same scrupulous care, as Château Petit-Village itself. It is 100% Merlot and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are one year old and 50% of which are two years old.

Before 1876, La Tour de By was called La Roque de By. The vine has been cultivated there for several centuries. Pierre Tizon, Lord of the Fief of By was the owner in 1599.

The Château remained in the family until 1725, when it fell to the Comte de Gramont, then to Monsieur de Lignac and, in 1860, to Monsieur Alfred Rubichon who built the current Château La Tour de By in 1876, which overlooks the Gironde. It was then bought by Mr. Julien Damoy who died there in 1942.
