Château Cheval Blanc St Emilion Grand Cru Le Petit Cheval 2020

So much complexity and layers, wonderfully fragrant, raspberry, damson fruits with points of orange and mandarin peel that give flecks of minerality and bitterness in the best way. Balanced acidities, and a serious architecture all combine to give a brilliant brillant Petit Cheval that has improved over ageing and is one to look out for. 39ha, director Pierre Lurton, winemaker Pierre Olivier Clouet. 12% of overall production because the dry summer was tough on the young vines on gravel. 3.7ph.
