Description

Together with Château Pétrus and Ausone, Château Cheval Blanc is one of the legends of the right bank. Always possesses an enormous concentration, but at the same time finesse and freshness. This cru is owned by the Belgian Albert Frère and Bernard Arnault. It is Pierre Lurton (from the branch of Dominique Lurton) who vinifies the wine there (just like in Château d'Yquem). This year, vinification took place for the fifth time in the ultra-modern new chais by the architect Christian de Portzamparc. 50 specially shaped (tronconical) concrete cuvees ensure microvinification per plot. Concrete was chosen because it has good thermal insulation and a tronconical shape because it ensures a softer extraction of the berries for better fermentation. Everything is also vinified using the principle of gravity (so the wine or berries are no longer pumped up). A gigantic investment in the service of quality!

The 2020 Le Petit Cheval (Blanc) is fantastic. Rich, creamy and wonderfully expansive, the 2020 is simply beautiful. Lemon confit, white flowers, passion fruit and a touch of oak grace this wonderfully expressive dry white wine from Cheval Blanc. Particularly beautiful is how the 2020 gains freshness with aeration, always a good sign with white wines. There is tremendous precision and class here.
