	Petit verdot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Petit verdot is a variety of fl grape used in the production of red wine, principally in blends with Cabernet Sauvignon.
		The fact that it ripens much later than most of the other varieties of grape means that it cannot successfully be grown in many of the French regions, and is only found in any quantity in the Médoc and Margaux regions of Bordeaux.
		It has good mid palate character which Cabernet sauvignon lacks, hence Petit verdot's use in many Cabernet sauvignon blends.

	All hail the king ... Petit Verdot?
		The Napa Valley Grapegrowers (NVG) released recommended grape prices to guide growers in contracting grapes for 2005, and while most price ranges are steady to about $100 per ton higher than they were in 2004, the recommendation for Petit Verdot is an eye-popping $4,300 to $6,000 per ton -- higher than any other varietal.
		Cabernet Sauvignon, thought to be king of Napa Valley, is second at $3,900 to $4,800.
		"The recommended price for Petit Verdot does not necessarily represent a long-term sustainable price, since it could be easily affected by relatively small changes in production or winery demand," says NVG president Eric Titus.
