Small? Certainly not. Château Cheval Blanc's second wine, Petit Cheval, is a cru in its own right, taking an increasingly important place in the Saint-Emilion landscape and assuming all the codes of excellence.
With the same singularity as its predecessor, thanks to a perfect equation this year between Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it's making its mark. In a more immediate register than the grand vin, you'll find the breed of this terroir in northern Saint-Emilion, on the edge of Pomerol, where gravel and clay find a unique path, and all the expertise of the in-house teams. Florality is at work here, tannins silky, fruit pulpy and scintillating.
This is Saint-Emilion's most mythical cru, and certainly one of the most coveted on the wine planet!
Treat yourself to a share in the supreme myth of Saint-Emilion! Please note that quantities are limited this year.
