Le Petit Cheval Blanc – Bordeaux Blanc – White – 2015:

 

The Confidential White Masterpiece from Château Cheval Blanc

Le Petit Cheval Blanc is the prestigious Château Cheval Blanc’s statement on white wine: a world-class Dry Bordeaux Blanc. Sourced from dedicated plots, it translates the Saint-Émilion excellence into a white cuvée of crystalline purity. This wine is a masterpiece of balance and complexity, demonstrating the estate’s ambition to rival the greatest white wines globally, particularly those from Pessac-Léognan.

Tasting Notes & Profile

• Appearance: Brilliant pale yellow with subtle green tinges.
• Nose: Remarkably elegant and expressive. The bouquet bursts with intense aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit (white peach, mango), vibrant citrus (lime zest), and white flowers (elderflower). Subtle oak influence adds layers of beeswax and brioche upon aeration.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet racy, the palate is immediately seductive with its silky texture and perfect balance. The vivacity of Sauvignon Blanc is beautifully complemented by the Sémillon’s richness, delivering a saline freshness that carries through to an incredibly long, mineral-driven finish.

Pairing & Service

Serve chilled (50-54°F). Decanting young vintages is recommended to fully express its complexity. This is a wine for special occasions and refined cuisine.

• Food Pairings: Pan-Seared Scallops with Sorrel Butter, Roasted Halibut with Lemon-Herb Sauce, High-Quality Aged Goat Cheese, Creamy Risotto with Asparagus.
• Cellaring Potential: 10 to 15 years.
