Le Petit Cheval Blanc 2022

Le Petit Cheval Blanc 2022 is a Bordeaux white from Chateau Cheval Blanc, blending Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon from approximately twelve parcels. Sandy, gravelly, and clay-influenced soils contribute freshness and definition, while the warm, exceptionally dry 2022 growing season produced a concentrated, expressive white wine.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with butter-poached lobster, grilled sea bass, scallops, or creamy poultry dishes.

95 Points - James Suckling

Lovely density and brightness to this wine with white lilacs, pear blossoms and citrus fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, it has creamy texture and hints of salt and lemon rind. Sliced-pear undertones. There's a pretty richness and complexity at the same time plus plenty of energy for the harvest. 71% sauvignon blanc and 29% semillon. Drink or hold.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

A pure version, with a mix of sel gris, quinine and Key lime notes leading the way, backed by subtle accents of lemon curd, salted butter and honeysuckle. The long, refined finish shows a flash of wet stone. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Drink now through 2027. 1,452 cases made, 250 cases imported.
