Le Petit Cheval Blanc 2020, hailing from the illustrious Château Cheval Blanc in Bordeaux, France, exudes elegance and finesse in every sip. The wine boasts a pale golden colour, reminiscent of sun-kissed wheat fields. On the nose, delicate aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits intertwine, with a subtle hint of honey and vanilla. On the palate, the wine reveals a refreshing acidity, balanced by a creamy texture and flavours of ripe peaches and a touch of toasted almond. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving a lingering impression of crisp minerality. This vintage showcases the perfect balance between the influence of the terroir and the skilled winemaking techniques applied at Château Cheval Blanc. A true representation of the renowned Bordeaux style, Le Petit Cheval Blanc 2020 is a must-try for any wine connoisseur.

The dried-mango and pineapple character is so delicious in this wine. It’s full-bodied and medium-sweet, with a pretty density and a fruity finish. Wonderful balance to this super Sauternes. This is a little in reserve now, with so much for the future.

Organically farmed Sauvignon Blanc from Yarra Valley

The Triolet blend, first produced at this vineyard in 1987, was inspired by the white wines of Graves, Bordeaux. Each variety is picked at optimum ripeness, and is usually fermented separately. The characteristics of optimum ripeness are different for each variety. We pick the Sauvignon blanc after the strong herbaceous flavours have disappeared, the Semillon when the acid is not too harsh, and the Muscadelle when the flavour intensity peaks.

Since 1984 Château Rieussec has been the Sauternes property of the Rothschild family, owners of Chateau Lafite. Rieussec, a neighbour of Chateau dYquem, had for generations been a leading producer and was ranked Premier Cru in 1855. Even so, under Rothschild ownership the property has been transformed, with new cellars and winery and far more rigorous grape selection (plus greater use of barrel fermentation and maturation) for the flagship Grand Vin. This has led to Rieussecs clear emergence as a rival to its famous neighbour. Chateau Rieussec is 90% Semillon, with minor contributions from Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. The property is 110ha with 68ha under vine.
