Le Petit Cheval 2018

Cheval Blanc

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

Benefitting from Cheval Blanc’s outstanding terroir, this Saint-Émilion estate’s second wine is anything but second best. 10% of the first wine goes into the production of the outstanding Petit Cheval, which is made from a blend of Merlot (c.70%) and Cabernet Franc (c.30%) and is aged in 50% new oak barrels. Their rich terroir is formed of gravel, clay and sandy soils all which sit atop a sedimentary rock – this unusual mixed terrain is what allows Cheval Blanc to stand out. Château Cheval Blanc are committed to honouring the land that produces their magnificent wines and at the forefront of recent work has been an unwavering commitment to biodiversity and agroecology in a bid to allow the vineyards to thrive and to ensure the longevity of the estate amidst the ongoing crisis of climate change.

Julia Harding MW

70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc. Barrel sample. Deepest cherry red. More scented than the Quinault LEnclos just tasted. Very pretty, almost a touch floral, but still elegant. Black and dark-red fruit. Much more savoury on the palate, almost charry without being oaky. Silkiest of tannins, juicy and fresh. Lively, dancing. (JH)

Le Petit Cheval 2018 is deep garnet purple in color. It bursts with scents of warm blueberries, blackberry preserves, and eucalyptus, plus touches of lavender and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy, with generous fruit and a spicy lift on the finish.
