Persoonlijke gegevens
Along with Château Pétrus and Ausone, Château Cheval Blanc is one of the legends of the right bank. Always possessing enormous concentration, but at the same time finesse and freshness. Le Petit Cheval represents 10% of the estate's production and is a blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In a way, this results in a Petit Cheval that is very much Cheval, meaning that it is very expressive in the bouquet but less generous on the palate.
The 2019 Petit Cheval Saint-Émilion Grand Cru has a very attractive bouquet of cedar and tobacco that seems precise and extremely well focused. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with an aromas, sweet and layered black fruits, creaminess satin texture with a lingering and seductive, modern style finish.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Le Petit Cheval 2019 opent met ceder en tabak, gevolgd door gelaagd, zoet zwart fruit, romige satijntextuur en een verfijnde, medium-bodied frisheid die zorgt voor finesse en lengte. Daardoor past hij uitstekend bij rundvlees, lam en rijpe kazen omdat de zachte tannines en frisse zuurgraad vet en umami aanvullen zonder te overheersen; denk aan een malse côte de boeuf of entrecôte van de grill, langzaam gegaarde lamsbout met rozemarijn of stevig gerijpte kazen zoals Comté of oude Gouda. Voor het beste resultaat serveer de wijn licht gekoeld of decanteer kort en kies bereidingswijzen met geroosterde of gegrilde smaken en kruidige korstjes die de ceder- en rokerige tonen versterken. |

Exhibiting aromas of plums, sweet wild berries, rose petals, spices and cigar wrapper, the 2019 Le Petit Cheval is medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, with supple tannins and succulent acids. Pierre-Olivier Clouet explains that his aspiration is to produce 100% Cheval Blanc and that, as a result, this cuvée simply represents anything that doesn't belong in the grand vin's blend. Of course, however, it shares some of the latter's DNA.
One of Bordeaux's most complex terroirs, Cheval Blanc sits on the site of an ancient river delta, with (to generalize) clay-rich soils in the lower-lying parts where rivulets once flowed and gravel and sand elsewhere. This complexity is reflected, of course, in the resulting wine, but also in how it is farmed and made, with thoughtful use of cover crops according to soil type and parcel-by-parcel vinification. A concerted effort is being made, moreover, to bring life back to the vineyard, with hedges of native species to act as wildlife corridors, and fruit trees planted among the vines. The same attention to detail that's applied in the vineyards, for example with regard to developing and testing an in-house massal selection, is applied in the cellar, where cooperage trials are notable for their exigence. All of that shows in the glass. On my most recent visit, technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet and I tasted the 2019 in the context of the last 10 vintages of Cheval Blanc, and it stood out even in such illustrious company, with—to my palate—2016 its only plausible rival for the title of Cheval Blanc of the decade. Readers with the requisite disposable income won't want to miss it.

This is so floral and beautiful with roses, violets and some lavender. Spices and stems, too. Medium-bodied, firm and bright with compact density to the wine. Beautiful tannins. This is extremely structured. Second wine of Cheval Blanc. 56% merlot and 44% cabernet franc. Try after 2027.

From: 2019 Bordeaux from Bottle: The Two Towers (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Petit Cheval is a stunning second wine - if it can even be called that. In 2019, Petit Cheval is a blend of four parcels that were in the Grand Vin in 2018. Dark, supple and expressive, the 2019 offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, spice, new leather and graphite, all of which build effortlessly in the glass. The Petit represents 5.5% of the château's production in 2019, but it is more of a second selection, as 12% of the wine that year was sold in bulk.

Château Cheval Blanc is located within the municipal boundaries of the picturesque village of Saint Emilion, close to the Pomerol appellation. The 37 hectare vineyard is planted with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the first of which is also the most important.
The current Cheval Blanc owners, Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frere, decided in 1998 to seal their shared love of wine with the purchase of a Premier Cru Classé A: Château Cheval Blanc. Daily management is in the hands of Pierre Lurton, who comes from a very well-known family of winemakers and château owners. His presence has allowed Château Cheval Blanc to maintain its top position in Bordeaux for the past ten years.
