Colour deep ruby-red |
|
Bouquet red and black cherries notes with hints of oolong tea, wilted roses and dusty soil, cedar-wood bouquet. The key descriptors for the bouquet of this vintage are its aromatic brilliance and precision. |
|
Flavour Medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the lively fruit, it finishes on a lingering perfumed note. |

Grape: 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc
Cheval Blanc obtained the highest possible distinction in the first classification of Saint-Emilion wines in 1954: Premier Grand Cru Classé “A”. This exalted rank was confirmed in every following classification in each subsequent decade.
2014 was mainly a rainy year until the end of August. Nevertheless, thanks to exceptionally good autumn weather, it was possible to harvest each plot at peak ripeness and avoid any herbaceous aromas. Cabernet Franc grapes are very successful thanks to these hot and dry weather conditions.
Winemaking
Although Château Cheval Blanc rarely practices subtractive techniques, most of the Merlot vats were bled in 2014 to compensate for the large size of this grape variety’s berries. The average bleeding over the entire harvest was 10%. In 2014 the Merlot had a vatting period of 29 days, and the Cabernet Francs had a vatting period of 25 days. Cheval Blanc was aged 100% in new oak barrels for 15 months.
