Le Petit Cheval Blanc – Bordeaux Blanc Sec – White – 2023 – 1500 ml:

 

Le Petit Cheval Blanc: The White Jewel from Château Cheval Blanc

A rare and exquisite dry white wine, Le Petit Cheval Blanc is the stunning white counterpart from the legendary Château Cheval Blanc. Though labeled a generic Bordeaux Blanc, this wine is crafted with the same meticulous standards as the estate’s Premier Grand Cru Classé A red, offering a level of complexity and aging potential few dry whites can match. This is a collector’s bottle, showcasing the Cheval Blanc signature in a brilliant, textural white expression.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage Profile)

• **Color:** Pale, bright straw with subtle green hues.
• **Nose:** Explosive and layered, featuring vibrant citrus zest (lime, grapefruit), white stone fruit (peach, pear), and a hint of exotic pineapple, beautifully integrated with a flinty minerality and delicate new oak spice.
• **Palate:** Full-bodied and rich, yet perfectly balanced by a racy, crystalline acidity. The texture is opulent and creamy (a result of extended lees aging in new oak), leading to a long, precise, and distinctly saline finish. A true luxury white.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled (50-54°F). This wine demands sophisticated cuisine.

• **Pairings:** Grilled Sea Scallops with Lemon-Herb Butter, Pan-Seared Halibut, Lobster Thermidor.
