Wine Spectator

This is stone-cold shut down right now, but why worry? You'll want to wait at least a decade before breaching a bottle as massively endowed as this, with loads of loamy bass notes thumping along underneath a riveting track of licorice snap, pastis-steeped black currant fruit, maduro tobacco and espresso. And then there's an echo of petrichor at the very end that hints at the aromatic fireworks to come with cellaring. Should compete for wine of the vintage. Best from 2020 through 2040.

Colour

A beautiful deep purple red.

Nose

The expression of the aromas delivers floral facets of violet and peony which evolve towards red fruit, raspberry and black cherry. This vintage is characterized by its brilliance, its aromatic freshness, its precision, its clarity.

Palate

The attack is ample. The mid-palate is full, fatty, voluptuous, voluptuous, with an endless finish. The tannins are suave, silky and elegant, on the palate the balance is perfect.

Wine-growing region

This vintage has both the richness and opulence of wines produced on clay soils, as well as the finesse and tight tannic structure of wines produced on gravelly soils. The soils and subsoils reflect the textural variety encountered on the Quaternary alluvium.

Winemaking

Vatting for 3 weeks in concrete vats under thermoregulation, aging for 18 to 20 months in new French oak barrels

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box

Château Cheval Blanc

The history of the estate began in the 4th century, at the time of the Roman Empire. Then, the vineyard developed strongly in the Middle Ages. Château Cheval Blanc occupies a special position in the “Saint-Émilion” appellation, because it is located on the Quaternary alluvium of the Isle and enjoys a unique terroir (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties).
