Le Petit Cheval 2022 Vintage Overview

2022 OVERVIEW

Opening with cool citrus, pear and white blossom, this 2022 Le Petit Cheval Blanc glides across the palate with a sleek line of acidity wrapped in gentle creaminess, finishing on a saline, stony snap that keeps everything mouthwatering and precise. The extra Sémillon in this vintage brings a subtle waxy depth and quiet spice, giving the wine both immediate charm and a serious, layered structure beneath the brightness.

About Le Petit Cheval

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.
