Chateau Cheval Blanc

Château Cheval Blanc, a 1er Grand Cru Classé (A) is unquestionably the leading estate in St. Emilion. It is located in the north-west of the St. Emilion appellation, bordering Pomerol.

Cheval Blanc's vineyards (Merlot 39%, Cabernet Franc 57%, Malbec 3%, Cabernet Sauvignon 1%) enjoy a variety of soils: gravel, clay and sand, all underpinned by an impermeable sedimentary rock (`crasse de fer'). Fermentation and maceration last 4 weeks in stainless steel vats, followed by 18 months' maturation in new oak barrels.

Cheval Blanc produces the most famous Cabernet Franc-based wine in the world and present régisseur Pierre Lurton is amongst the most talented winemakers working in Bordeaux today. Cheval Blanc requires a minimum 10 years of bottle age and the best vintages can last for 50 years or more.

2007 Ch. Cheval Blanc, St Emilion

Chateau Cheval Blanc, Ready, but will keep,

This is a truly great Cheval Blanc. Just a smidgen below the quality of the 2005 (yes, really) it is a monster of a wine, and utterly complete. Overflowing with dense fruit, huge tannins and balanced acidity it has all the tools to age majestically. The nose is all creamy, rich, intense black fruit while the harmonious palate boasts cool, incredibly concentrated, elegant cassis and plums with an astonishing pure, complex finish that we could still taste 10 minutes after leaving the chteau. Without a shadow of doubt, the wine of the vintage.

The greatest release since the legendary 1982. This is a full bodied, concentrated, rich wine with remarkably well integrated tannins. Explosive blackcurrant and cherry fruit shows no signs of ageing, offering delicious drinking over the next 20 years.

2006 Ch. Cheval Blanc, St Emilion

Chateau Cheval Blanc, For laying down,

Director Pierre Lurton has one of the best and hardest jobs in Bordeaux, managing two of the region's great estates, Cheval Blanc and d'Yquem. In 2006 he been successful once again producing what he rightly calls 'a cashmere' Cheval Blanc. It is an outstanding wine, with a stylish, velvety texture, power and elegance and a lovely mouthwatering freshness. It has more Merlot than usual giving it a seductive richness, along with concentrated raspberry, blackberry and plum fruit and supple tannins. Just as you think you have tasted everything, another wave of fruit sweeps in on the long finish.

2005 Ch. Cheval Blanc, St Emilion

Chateau Cheval Blanc, For laying down,

Director Pierre Lurton has produced an extraordinary Cheval Blanc in 2005 with wonderful purity and class, emphasizing beauty over power. Like so many of the great 2005s this starts slowly and then snowballs into an avalanche of flavour, getting more and more complex and intense as it goes. With its floral, bitter chocolate and ripe black fruit nose this is immediately very different to other wines we have tasted. Crushed coffee beans enhance the sensational blackberry fruit amidst a palate of great poise, harmony and luxurious polish.

2014 Ch. Cheval Blanc, St Emilion

Chateau Cheval Blanc, For laying down,

Seventy-five percent of the harvest was used to create the Grand Vin this year and it has such an attractive nose. Another Burgundy-esque wine, Cheval Blanc is wonderfully perfumed and delightfully floral. The palate has an impetus to it. Soft, beguiling, pure and mineral natural, it is simply delicious. There is elegance, but power emerges on the mid-palate, although it is well hidden. Approachable now, there is some crunch and velvety fruit. Refined and fine, it is a really good result this year.

55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc
