Blend: 73% Sauvignon Blanc, 27% Sémillon
Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
The relatively new white wine of this reference point château in Saint-Emilion, the 2023 Château Cheval Blanc Le Petit Cheval Blanc is based on 73% Sauvignon Blanc and 27% Sémillon and was brought up 20 months in demi-muids and foudres. Its light gold hue is followed by a pure, graceful, gorgeous Sauvignon that has bright citrus, grapefruit, white flowers, and hints of spice, with a building sense of minerality. It brings medium-bodied richness, has a rounded, layered mouthfeel, integrated yet clean, bright acidity, and a clean finish. It's a brilliant white that will keep for at least a decade. Drink 2026-2035.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Grapefruit, green apples and pears with an herbal touch. Medium-bodied, nervy and stony, showing citrusy yuzu flavor and a subtle bitterness. Incisive and saline in the finish, with great tension throughout.
