100 100Jean-Marc QuarinVoici la couleur la plus noire jamais vue à Cheval Blanc ! Nez intense, subtil, complexe et profond. Touche de framboise, de mûre, de réglisse, d'anis. L'entrée en bouche commence très fort. De suite, le vin se montre ultra caressant et gras, avec la classe tactile radieuse que ce cru sait offrir. Et cette onctuosité devient juteuse. L'opulence monte sans faire dévier le cru de son axe esthétique. Ah la haute majesté de la richesse qui n'abuse de rien ! Ce port gustatif est à la fois génial et incompréhensible. Magnifique longueur si sapide. Assemblage : 53 % merlot, 46 % cabernet franc, 1 % cabernet sauvignon. Degré d'alcool : 14°25 - pH : 3,80. Rendement faible de 29 hl/ha. Les baies de cabernet franc étaient inférieures à 1 gr. Pas de production de Petit Cheval en 2022.

100 100Yves Beck53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Pas de second vin en 2022. Il en résulte donc 78 % de premier vin, tandis que 22 % sont partis en vrac. Beaucoup de finesse, d’élégance, avec un bel accord entre tous les éléments présents, et il y en a beaucoup ! Que ce soient des baies noires, du bois de réglisse, des épices, une touche de fruits rouges, des nuances de pivoine et, en arrière-plan, des notes de garrigues et d’élevage, la complexité est à son comble. En bouche, le vin affiche d’entrée de la densité, du charme et du tempérament. Il se révèle de manière linéaire, sans accrocs, avec moult détails et de la vigueur. Les tannins ainsi qu’une fine austérité consolident la fin de bouche et assurent une fraîcheur et une énergie improbables. Ces dernières apparaissent en fin de bouche et offrent un grand potentiel. Ceux qui voudront le boire plutôt jeune auront beaucoup de plaisir, mais pas autant que ceux qui sauront patienter. C’est pour ma part, avec le 2009, un des plus grands Cheval Blanc des 20 dernières années. Que de définition, de précision et de persistance. 2030-2060

99 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateOne of the stars of the vintage is the striking 2022 Château Cheval Blanc, a blend of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon that bursts from the glass with aromas of mulberries, cherries and wild berries mingled with mint, orange zest, pencil lead, vine smoke and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's rich and gourmand, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a long, saline, pungently perfumed finish. Harvest began on 29 August, with all the Merlot picked before the month was out, and the result is a wine that is as vibrant as it is lavish. 97-99/100. William Kelley

98 100DecanterAn extremely gorgeous 2022 taking the best from the vintage in terms of power, concentration and structure and presenting it with elegance, purity and a kind of quiet confidence that Cheval does so well. Crushed stones, salt, blue fruits and soft perfumed aromas on the nose. Smooth texture, so fine, silky, supple and agile, this has such an alluring energy from the first sip. Tannins are velvety soft providing a gentle grip with a powdery, chalky graphite, liquorice and fresh mint touch. This feels calm and controlled with the power coming slowly and subtly in the undercurrent of lush ripe fruit. Intensity is matched by accessibility with a combination of high acidity and appealing sweetness with layers of nuance and detail. So complete - nothing is missing here, but it's more about what it's not saying than what it is. A great wine that has potential for up-score in bottle. Potential 100 point wine. A yield of 27hl/ha, due to size of the berries. 3.86pH. 72IPT. No Petit Cheval this year, a total of 78% grand vin production. 98-100/100. 2030-2050. Georgina Hindle.

98 100The Wine Enthusiast97-99/100 Barrel sample. The wine is very fine, elegant and impressive. It has depth and concentration, being very floral and offering great black fruits alongside the firm tannins. There is a lovely line of succulent fruit and acidity. Almost accessible now, it is really set for long-term aging. Roger Voss

Purplish purple, almost black.
Intense, subtle and deep bouquet with aromas of raspberry, blackberry, liquorice and aniseed.
Dense on the palate, with charm and character, linear, very nuanced and vigorous. It is caressing and rich, with a beautiful smoothness. Juicy. Majestic and full-bodied without excess. Magnificent, savoury finish with great length.
Porcini mushrooms, game, wild boar, braised beef, quail.
Serving temperature: 16 - 18°C
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.
Fermentation for 3 weeks in temperature-controlled concrete vats, aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels.
