"What a great deal!"
Medium garnet red. In addition to the woodiness, which appears first, I also detect fruity notes and spices. An inviting candied touch. The palate confirms the charming trend, but there is a response to this. The body is creamy, balanced, dense and perfectly supported by its tannins. The latter go hand in hand with the acidic structure , which gives it class and freshness. A promising wine."

Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This discreet 14-hectare château, located in the immediate vicinity of Haut-Marbuzet, on the same plateau, offers a fine representation of the terroirs of Saint-Estèphe. However, the high proportion of Merlot in the blends gives the wine a deliberately charming and flattering style.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2018 guide) 91/100 (Excellent wine)
About wine:
Petit Bocq 2016 is deep garnet purple in color with aromas of cedar and earth over a core of red and black currants, cherries, and undergrowth. The medium-bodied palate is elegant, vibrant, and refreshing. 2019–2031

About wine:
A racy, sappy, well-structured wine with a very ripe profile. A beautiful classic with a promising future. The wood needs to blend in.

About wine:
A supple, full-bodied wine of medium weight for this appellation, with plenty of energy that animates the moderately dry, tannic finish. Lovely black fruit makes it accessible, so drink now or keep.
