Le Petit Cheval 2016 - 2nd Wine of Château Cheval Blanc

Second wine of Château Cheval Blanc...

Tasting commentary of the Château:

The nose is very pure and clear with a brightness of red fruits and marked flowers, the violet and the raspberry dominate largely. This nose is charming, but it is no less complex and serious. The barely perceptible breeding notes are perfectly blended. The attack is melted, dense and crisp, the acidity of the wine plays a fundamental role in the straightness and length of the mouth. The dense and numerous tannins remain perfectly ripe and coated, a creamy taste emerges from the mouth. The finish is fresh and fruity, and stretches for a long time. The balance between acidity and tannins is perfect.

A dry year filled with a very nice after-season, Le Petit Cheval is perfectly in line with its elder. A fresh, fruity, floral aroma continues with a mouth at once tender, voluminous and deep. A beautiful introduction to the world of Cheval Blanc.
