2021 Chateau Cheval Blanc Le Petit Cheval Blanc White – Precision and Purity from Bordeaux

The 2021 Chateau Cheval Blanc Le Petit Cheval Blanc White offers a rare and refined expression of Bordeaux white wine from one of the region’s most prestigious estates. Produced in limited quantities, this cuvee reflects Cheval Blanc’s meticulous vineyard management and focus on balance, clarity, and site-driven character.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with lifted aromas of citrus blossom, pear, and white peach, complemented by subtle herbal and mineral notes. On the palate, it is bright and focused, delivering layered orchard fruit framed by vibrant acidity. A saline edge and fine texture carry through a long, clean finish that emphasizes freshness and precision rather than weight.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Le Petit Cheval Blanc White is crafted from a blend dominated by Sauvignon Blanc with a portion of Semillon, sourced from carefully selected parcels. Fermentation and aging take place under controlled conditions to preserve aromatic purity, with restrained oak influence allowing the wine’s natural energy and structure to remain central.

Investment & Collectibility

White wines from Chateau Cheval Blanc are produced in extremely small volumes and are rarely seen on the market. The 2021 vintage combines scarcity with a modern, age-worthy profile, making it particularly appealing to collectors seeking distinctive and uncommon Bordeaux offerings.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2021 growing season favored freshness and aromatic detail, producing whites with tension and finesse. Early critical attention highlights the wine’s balance and clarity of expression.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A rich and exotic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the 2021 Le Petit Cheval Blanc bursts with aromas of green mango, passion fruit, lime and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's satiny, textural and perfumed.

Vinous

The 2021 Le Petit Cheval (Blanc) is fabulous. Silky and intensely aromatic, with tons of Sauvignon Blanc character, the 2021 is all raciness. Pear, slate, mint, crushed rocks, lime and white pepper abound, all framed by brisk acids and gorgeous saline undertones. The 2021 is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon. It aged for 22 months, mostly in foudres and wood uprights. What a wine! Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: December 2023. Drinking window: 2023 - 2033.
