A wine of extraordinary depth and precision, Château Cheval Blanc is a quintessential expression of the finesse and complexity of Saint-Émilion. From the first sip, it captivates with its remarkable structure and exceptional intensity. On the nose, layers of ripe blackcurrant, raspberry, and plum unfold, intertwined with notes of violet, graphite, and tobacco, complemented by hints of spice and earthy undertones. A delicate touch of licorice and truffle adds further intrigue. The palate is dense, rich, and incredibly well-defined, with a silky yet firm tannic structure that delivers both strength and elegance. The concentration of dark fruit is balanced by a vibrant freshness and mineral edge, leading to a finish that is long, persistent, and elegantly spiced. As it evolves, expect deeper notes of leather, cigar box, and dark chocolate, revealing the full grandeur of this exceptional vintage.
