The winery is located on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine region, in the commune of Pomerol in the department Gironde.
As all wine produced in this appellation, Château Petit-Village is unclassified, but the estate is estimated among the great growths of the region.
The château also produces a second wine named Le Jardin de Petit-Village.
It is unknown who initially planted vine at the estate, but after the French Revolution, it was under the ownership of the Dufresne family, according to Henri Enjalbert, second generation Libournais vintners.
