Chateau Cheval Blanc,
For laying down,
Wow, such a pretty nose – more in keeping with a Grand Cru Burgundy! Floral hints, combined with mulberry, violet and raspberry. Effervescent, however surprisingly powerful, building up on the nose like a Bonnes Mares or Musigny. A fresh crunch on the palate that works perfectly with the velvety fruit and creamy spice from the oak. Lovely structure and bones to the palate that give this an added precision. Such a refined and pretty Cheval for short to mid-term drinking.

After seemingly years in the doldrums Cheval is back in the game! Producing a wine this year that is worthy of its Premier Grand Cru Classé and legendary status. There is a heavenly nose of warm, ripe, crunchy red summer berries and a multi-layered and exotic (but not at all pushed or forced) mouthfeel.
There is a great grip with fine chewy tannins and an exceptional finish that goes on until you get to St Emilion (about 5 mins away!) A true legend in the making, to rival its brilliant 1998 or 1982.
(56% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot. 14.5% abv)

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.

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.

There is real freshness in the 2016 Cheval Blanc. Dark ruby, it has strong aromatics of red berries and blue fruit. The palate is fresh with creamy, well-integrated, ripe, silky tannins alongside a spicy, crunchy acidity. It dances across the tongue with a flicker of polished fruit, finishing with a suave, polished character and a classy richness.

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.

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.
