Tasting Notes

Vinous 91

The 2021 Le Petit Cheval, which, according to Pierre Lurton, contains more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, has attractive iris flower and incense aromas on the nose, along with plenty of dark berry fruit and just a touch of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit on the entry, that Cabernet imparting a Medoc-like structure, and a strict, saline finish. I can see this aging well in bottle while waiting for the Grand Vin to reach its drinking plateau. [Neal Martin, 12/05/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2025-2038

Robert Parker 89-91

Representing 13% of the estate’s production (a further 18% was sold off in bulk), the 2021 Le Petit Cheval exhibits aromas of cherries, sweet berries, loamy soil, tobacco leaf and spices. Medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated, with powdery tannins and a saline finish, it’s a blend of 60% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc. [William Kelley, 29/04/2022]
