A Quebec-based consignor, he developed an interest in wine after dining at Bistro Champlain and enjoying bottles from its iconic cellar. He has been collecting for the past 15 years, during which he primarily purchased bottles through the SAQ, though he also added to his collection while traveling or at auction. His wine collection was carefully stored in his home cellar, maintained at a consistent 12°C with humidity levels between 45-49%.
Producer notes - Produced from the 1988 vintage, Petit Cheval is the second wine of the prestigious Château Cheval Blanc. With a remarkable and unique character, the vineyard is located on the edge of Pomerol. An atypical grape variety for the Saint-Emilion region, with a proportion of Cabernet Franc higher than that of Merlot, produces a rich, full-bodied, intense and unctuous wine. Petit Cheval is produced on the sandiest soils of the vineyard. Often delicious in its youth, it has a potential to age for several years.
Picked when ripe by hand, the berries are gently pressed with a long maceration to extract the most tannins, color and aromas. Manual pumping over takes place. The aging in oak barrels lasts almost a year. Serve this wine between 16 and 18°C, accompanied by a good meat such as a leg of lamb, a rib of beef or a roast pork.
