    Restrained at first, with a subtle tobacco leaf hint, this expands continuously and forcefully in the glass, revealing layers of warmed fig, macerated black currant and blackberry coulis fruit woven with notes of ganache, warm gravel and freshly brewed black tea. There's power in reserve, but this remains elegant overall. A great effort. Best from 2018 through 2028. 1,367 cases made. — J.M.

    Medium garnet colored, the 2013 Cheval Blanc has a captivating, open-knit nose of roses and lilacs over a core of fragrant soil, charcuterie, kirsch and raspberry preserves plus a waft of stewed plums. Medium-bodied, chewy and with tones of spring to its step, the palate is delicately fruited with an earthy finish. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

    Graceful wine on the nose and on the palate, finely fleshy, tasty, silky, fragrant, a little lively (lots of Cabernet Franc), but with body and fine tannins. Breeding will grow it. Good length.

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.

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).
