Vinous – Antonio Galloni – Score 95/100
The 2016 Petit Gravet Ainé is dense, sumptuous and exotic in its beauty. I am quite taken aback by the wine’s sheer concentration, which among other things, hides some of the expressive Cabernet Franc signatures that are often present in the wine. Even so, the 2016 is wonderfully persistent. Fruit intensity and structure are nicely balanced, while the aromatics need a bit of time to fully emerge.
Robert Parker The Wine Advocate – Score 95/100
The 2016 Petit Gravet Aine is a blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot aged for 14 months in 100% new Taransaud and Ana Sélection French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges forth with gregarious roses and violets scents with a core of kirsch, redcurrant jelly and wild blueberries plus tilled soil, pencil shavings and fallen leaves. Rich, opulent and perfumed in the mouth, it is full-bodied and very firm with wonderfully ripe tannins and a long spicy finish.
