CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2016 Le Petit Cheval comes from just three, sandier parcels and continues the estate s policy of blending as much of the entire vineyard into the Grand Vin as possible without compromising quality. It has a generous black cherry, boysenberry and fig-scented bouquet with light cedar aromas courtesy of the Cabernet Franc. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannin and a crisp line of acidity. I appreciate the freshness here, the linearity and approachability, and the subtle graphite tincture toward the finish. Quite elegant in style. Drink this over the next decade.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2016 Le Petit Cheval is composed of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc. Medium garnet-purple colored, it has a knock-out nose featuring beautiful red rose, black tea, unsmoked cigars, menthol and yeast extract scents with a core of black cherries, kirsch and warm plums plus a waft of dusty soil. Medium-bodied, tightly wound and wonderfully perfumed in the mouth, the palate features loads of vibrant, pristine pure fruit and a beautifully soft texture, finishing very long.

62% Merlot and most of the rest Cabernet Franc from a fine vintage. Very handsome indeed. Just the wine to be drinking now. No 'second-best' about it - very toothsome and fresh. Just the most appetising aspect of this appellation concentrated into one wine. One to drink while waiting for the grand vin to mature. (JR)
