James Suckling rating: 90/100
Le Petit Cheval is the second wine of Cheval Blanc.Chateau Cheval Blanc is located in the Saint-Emilion region.It belongs to the Premier Grand Cru Classé A category and has been referred to as one of the "Eight Great Bordeaux Estates" in recent years.The soil contains more gravel, sand, and clay.The greatest advantage of Château Cheval Blanc is that both its young and old wines are outstanding. The young wine, when first produced, has an enticing sweet aroma but is slightly weak in body; however, after 10 years of aging, the wine becomes rich, layered, and smooth.
"The quality of Le Petit Cheval is constantly improving." For example, Le Petit Cheval 2011 exhibits savory, elegant nuances along with flavors of blackcurrant, black cherry, spice box, and minerality.Round and generous, with a medium body, this vintage of sleeping wine is very suitable for drinking in the next 10 years or even longer.
