CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Aged in a variety of differently sized barrels to minimise oak impact, you get the varietal character of 100% Sauvignon Blanc on the fist nose. This is quickly overtaken by tight, punchy slate and rosemary aromas, bringing in more complex layers from the mid-palate onwards. A lovely texture with a rich, soft mouthfeel and a citrus bite, this is very good, but not as good as the reds in this vintage. From 2018 some Semillon will be added to the blend.

Pow! The 100% Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Le Petit Cheval Blanc explodes from the glass, delivering a tantalizing perfume of ripe peaches, mango and fresh pineapple with hints of lime blossoms, lemongrass, fresh ginger and spearmint plus a waft of cedar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with tropical and stone fruit flavors complemented by a compelling textural component and a racy line of acid, finishing very long and very delicious.
