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 2020 vintage of Le Petit Cheval is a blend of 59% Cabernet Franc and 41% Merlot, representing 12% of the total production that year. Impressive tannin quality accompanies delightful aromas and flavours of currants, berries, and cherries, with hints of chocolate and walnut. Medium-bodied, the wine possesses a lively and refined character. While it will continue to evolve over the next three to five years, it already exhibits remarkable expression. Available here in a stunning Impériale bottle.

The 2019 vintage of Le Petit Cheval is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, showcasing the nuanced complexity and elegance expected from the Château Cheval Blanc estate.
