Dark, cool-toned fruit pours from the glass in Chateau Cheval Blanc Le Petit Cheval 2020, layered with hints of cocoa, tea leaf and gentle spice, and framed by fragrant florals from the Cabernet Franc. On the palate it feels concentrated yet finely built, the sleek blackcurrant and cherry flavours carried by firm, polished tannins that promise real development with time. This is a notably serious, structured expression for a second wine, echoing much of the gravitas of the grand vin in a slightly more approachable frame.

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.
