Château Cheval Petit Cheval Blanc 2016
The colour of this Petit Cheval blanc 2016, crystalline with yellow-green reflections, characterises the young age of this wine. From the first nose, the minerality dominates with its notes of flint, matchstick, percussion pebbles. With aeration, the wine unfolds all its complexity with notes of fresh citrus fruits such as lemon or bergamot. Rustic characters like sage or rosemary mingle with notes of fresh flowers like acacia, lilac or vine blossom. The open and direct attack shows all the nervousness of this wine. The mid palate is broad and crisp. Volume and sweetness harmonise perfectly with the fresh and straightforward acidity. The aromatic return fully expresses the complexity of this wine with a fruity taste with white flesh (peach, pear). Its finish, long and rich, expands thanks to pretty bitters. (75cl)
