Le Petit Cheval

2020 Saint Emilion Grand Cru Merlot, Cabernet Franc

Le Petit Cheval is an exquisite red wine hailing from the prestigious Saint Emilion Grand Cru region, known for its exceptional terroirs and meticulous winemaking practices. This remarkable 2020 vintage, crafted from a harmonious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, embodies elegance and complexity. With a medium-plus body, it offers a well-balanced structure that beautifully supports its bright acidity, making each sip refreshing and invigorating. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious notes of dark berries, plum, and subtle hints of spice that dance on the palate. Aged gracefully, the tannins are silky and refined, providing a firm yet smooth mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly. This wine is dry, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine through, and is a perfect companion for a variety of dishes or a delightful experience on its own.
