A refined Saint-Émilion Grand Cru with silky tannins, beautiful minerality, and great aging potential.
Le Petit Cheval is the second wine from Château Cheval Blanc, one of the most famous estates in Saint-Émilion. The wine is produced according to the same uncompromising philosophy as the estate's Grand Vin, but comes from carefully selected plots, making it more accessible in its youth without losing the estate's characteristic elegance and complexity.
The 2020 vintage is composed of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with great precision, after which the wine is aged in French oak barrels. The result is a harmonious Bordeaux with great aromatic finesse, beautiful structure, and an impressive balance between fruit, freshness, and minerality.
Saint-Émilion is among the world's most prestigious wine regions and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The area is known for Merlot and Cabernet Franc-dominated wines with great elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The combination of limestone, clay, and gravel soil produces wines with a silky texture, beautiful minerality, and a characteristic freshness that makes Saint-Émilion one of Bordeaux's most sought-after areas.
Nose: Elegant aromas of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, violets, forest floor, cedar, cocoa, tobacco, and fine spices.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity. The palate is dominated by dark berries, black cherries, cocoa, graphite, herbs, and a beautiful mineral character with great precision and balance.
Finish: Long, elegant, and harmonious with lingering notes of ripe fruit, cedar, cocoa, and fresh minerality.
Best served at 16–18 °C. Decant the wine for 1–2 hours before serving to open up the complex aromas. Serve in a large Bordeaux glass. The wine can be enjoyed now, but will develop even greater complexity over the next 15–20 years.
