Le Petit Cheval Blanc – Bordeaux Blanc Sec – White – 2021:

 

Le Petit Cheval Blanc: White Wine Excellence from a St-Émilion Icon

Le Petit Cheval Blanc is the highly-sought-after dry white wine from the revered Château Cheval Blanc. Despite being classified under the wider Bordeaux Blanc appellation, it benefits from the Grand Cru Classé A estate’s exceptional terroir and expertise. This limited-production wine offers a unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc’s freshness and Sémillon’s richness, matured to perfection to create a wine of profound depth, elegance, and serious cellaring potential. A magnificent white for the discerning collector.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage Profile)

• **Colour:** Bright pale lemon with youthful glints.
• **Nose:** A complex bouquet of white flowers, lemon curd, honeysuckle, and vibrant tropical notes (passion fruit, yuzu zest), underscored by a sophisticated minerality and the subtle toastiness of quality new oak.
• **Palate:** Generous and full-bodied, exhibiting a luxurious, oily texture that is held in perfect check by a taut, refreshing acidity. It is both powerful and elegant, with a persistent, mineral-driven finish that lingers beautifully.

Food Pairing & Service

Serve lightly chilled (10-12°C). An ideal partner for classic, rich British fare.

• **Pairings:** Tarragon Roast Chicken, Seared Turbot with Samphire, Grilled Dover Sole with Brown Butter.
