château cheval blanc le petit cheval blanc 2021
Reference: 106749Stock: 3 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
produced in the bordeaux blancs secs appellation, le petit cheval is the fruit of an adventure and a challenge that château cheval blanc set itself more than 10 years ago: that of producing a very great white wine on a terroir historically renowned for its red wines. if the initial idea was to produce a wine exclusively for family and friends, the idea of making a great wine very quickly became obvious. le petit cheval blanc is the essence of the cheval blanc identity, with a plot of land entirely dedicated to it. this 6.6 hectare vineyard was formerly the tour du pin vineyard. benefiting from its own vinification and ageing facilities, le petit cheval blanc is blended from a mosaic of 13 different plots combining vines planted on sandy and clay soils. in the mouth the attack is lively and refreshing. ample and unctuous, the mouth seduces by its salinity, its balance and its persistence. the nose is brilliant and very precise, mixing fragrances of bergamot and citrus fruit (grapefruit) with fruity notes (pear, white flesh fruits). with aeration, the bouquet exhales its freshness and minerality. as readers may remember, this cuvée simply represents everything that doesn't synergize with cheval blanc's blend, so the 2021 le petit cheval is composed of some 60% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 33% cabernet sauvignon, amounting to fully half the surface planted to cabernet sauvignon at cheval blanc. offering up aromas of dark berries, mulberries and mint framed by creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and polished, concluding with a long, delicately vanillin-inflected finish. its composition means that it will reward a bit of patience.
