Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (89)

One of the stronger second wines I have tasted from manager/winemaker, Pierre Lurton, the 2006 Le Petit Cheval exhibits a dark ruby hue along with sweet red and black fruit notes intermixed with underbrush, forest floor, and licorice characteristics. This is a seductive second wine that cascades over the palate with no hard edges.

Winespectator (88)

Bright and aromatic, with roses and raspberries. Full-bodied, with fine tannins, clean acidity and a juicy, delicious finish.

Vinous (87)

Good deep red. Redcurrant and smoke on the nose. Silky and suave for a second wine, with a juicy quality and good flavor intensity. Finishes with rather suave tannins and moderate persistence. Shows the gentle side of 2006.
