lithe and savory

This Riesling was fermented in big traditional oak barrels

mouth-filling and sweet-fruited

Could a modern Mosel Spätlese be more classic than this

a great achievement in this vintage

2021 | Château Cheval Blanc 'Le Petit Cheval' | Saint-Émilion Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini lithe and savoryThe 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 is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon. It aged for 22 months, mostly in foudres and wood uprights. What a wine! 94 Pts Vinous
