Cheval Blanc`s second label is reserved for fruit that doesn`t meet the exacting standards required for their flagship wine, yet still maintains a high level of quality. Not produced annually, as every plot of Cheval Blanc holds potential for their Grand Vin, the 2021 vintage of Le Petit Cheval is a skilful blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Cabernet Franc. On the nose, black cherries, redcurrants, and mulberries are complemented by hints of cedar and earth. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing, with powdery tannins and a sprinkle of baking spices.
