Le Petit Cheval Bordeaux Blanc 2021 750 ML

The wine shows a bright and clear robe with light green glints. The first nose recalls citrus (bergamot, lemon, grapefruit) and is enhanced with notes of white fruit (peach, pear) and yellow fruit (pineapple, peach, passion). After aeration, the quite reserved wine complexity appears with great florality (white flower, lime, lilac), and some minerality (flint and chalk). The wood is very discreet but brings a little balsamic touch that well encapsulates the wine on its pastry sweetness. The mouth, like his elder Château Cheval Blanc, begins quietly, almost shyly, then gradually accelerates to develop good volume, fat and smooth, to an elegant, fresh and distinguished final. It is a wine where tension, power and dynamism are balanced by an aromatic and persistent freshness of great sophistication.
