Le Petit Cheval Magnum 2020

Le Petit Cheval 2020 is a full-bodied Cabernet Franc-based red wine from the St-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. The second wine of the renowned St-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) property Château Cheval Blanc, Le Petit Cheval 2020 is composed of 59% Cabernet Franc and 41% Merlot. The wine accounts for 12% of total production at the property. "I wrote in my note on the 2020 Château Cheval Blanc Le Petit Cheval that this is "one hell of a second wine," and it has a kiss of the elegance and complexity found in the top cuvée. Black fruits, roasted herbs, graphite, and scorched earth notes all emerge from this ruby/purple-hued beauty, which has medium to full-bodied richness, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It will drink nicely for 15+ years." Jeb Dunnuck, 2023
