Neal Martin for Robert Parker

The 2016 Le Petit Cheval has a stunning nose with beautiful aromas of red roses, black tea, unsmoked cigars, menthol and yeast extract with a core of black cherries, kirsch and warm plums plus a hint of dusty earth. Medium-bodied, dense and wonderfully flavoured in the mouth, it shows plenty of lively, unadulterated, pure fruit on the palate and a wonderfully soft texture with a very long finish .

Château Cheval Blanc This 18th century château is located in the commune of Saint-Émilion on the right bank of the Gironde and has been awarded the highest distinction of “Premier Grand Cru Classé A” in all classifications to date (some even place it above this) and has the same reputation in Saint-Émilion as Château Mouton-Rothschild in the Médoc. As a novelty for the region, the red wine is made with a very high proportion of Cabernet Franc. Due to the iron-rich gravel and sandy soil on clay, this variety achieves a ripeness like nowhere else in Bordeaux. Château Cheval Blanc is best known for its special label, which depicts a leaping white stallion and has become a symbol of excellence and prestige in the wine world. The Château's Grand Vin is considered an icon. A unique, unmistakable wine that is coveted by wine lovers all over the world and is therefore hard to come by.
