Tasting notes
The nose bursts with aromatics of white peach and citrus. The palate is zesty and tightly packed with green apple and white flowers. It’s elegant with a mineral salinity that drives through to the finish. This years Petit Cheval is especially striking on the palate, refreshing and concentrated. The purity of the fruit is particularly impressive. Blend: 71% Semillon, 29% Sauvignon Blanc.

The 2022 Petit Cheval Blanc is much more austere and possibly Sauvignon Blanc-driven compared to others in the flight, more malic, slightly smoky in style. The palate is taut on the entry, quite reductive with a touch of struck match, and it seems to run out of steam towards the finish. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
