The estate's second wine, Petit Cheval, offers a superb introduction to the excellence of the grand vin Cheval Blanc, with wines that are refined, powerful, with a striking and gourmet fruit on the palate.

While the Saint-Émilion appellation is known for its limestone formations, Château Cheval Blanc is located on the Quaternary alluvium of the Isle, a non-calcareous formation with varied texture, combining gravel and clay soils in roughly equal proportions.
