2011 Ch. Cheval Blanc, St. Emilion

Ch. Cheval Blanc, St. Emilion
Well the horse certainly bolted this year. The expansive, fresh and lively nose is almost as impressive in structure as the new winery! A dark core of plum and mulberry fruit is surrounded with a lighter touch of red currants. It is a nose that just gets better and better. Ethereal on the palate, focused and with such precision, you hardly realise how much weight there is here with such freshness and delicacy, and lovely crunch to the fruit.
(Adam Bilbey, Berrys’ Asia)

A beautiful, understated wine with great depth and intensity. Pure and fragrant with cashmere tannins and great length and line. A resounding success for the first vintage in the new winery. Remains true to style.

Somewhat reminiscent of their brilliant 1998, the 2011 Cheval Blanc has turned out to be a top-notch success. Its deep garnet/plum/purple color is followed by hints of blueberry confiture intermixed with raspberries, mocha, damp forest and a hint of mint. Exhibiting a velvety, opulent texture along with considerable class and flesh as well as sweet tannin, this flavorful, forward 2011 should drink beautifully for two decades or more. The harvest at this estate lasted from September 6 through October 1 (for the Cabernet Franc).

Ch. Cheval Blanc, St. Emilion
Very perfumy, with lovely red and black fruit that's pure and refined. There's a creamy feel, with hints of bergamot, cassis and toasted spice. Long and very suave through the finish. Well put together.
