Ripe blackberries and dark plum roll out of the glass, layered with gentle floral notes, sweet spice and a hint of roasted coffee in the 2019 Chateau Cheval Blanc Le Petit Cheval. On the palate it feels sleek yet muscular, a ripple of juicy berry fruit framed by fine but insistent tannins and a touch of savoury oak, finishing long, smooth and quietly serious for a second wine. This vintage shows real depth and structure, built more for graceful evolution than simple early charm.

Le Petit Cheval is the prestigious second red wine of Château Cheval Blanc in Saint‑Émilion, crafted from the same iconic terroir and grape varieties but from lots that don’t make it into the grand vin. First produced in 1988, it typically blends Merlot and Cabernet Franc to give a supple, elegant Bordeaux with the estate’s signature finesse and minerality, but in a more approachable, earlier‑drinking style that serves as a refined introduction to Cheval Blanc.
