Colour Deep garnet-purple in color |
|
Bouquet wild berries and plums mingled with notions of lilac, pipe tobacco, violets, raw cocoa, licorice, crushed mint and burning embers |
|
Flavour Full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it’s deep and intense, with beautifully rich, powdery tannins and vibrant flavors. Concluding with a long, saline finish, this rivals the 2016 as the finest Château Cheval Blanc of the decade, and in many respects it might be thought of as the latter vintage’s sun-kissed cousin. Bravo to Pierre-Olivier Clouet and his team! |
Perfect Score!

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.
A wine’s greatness lies in its ability to improve with age and reach its maximum potential as the years go by. The wines of Cheval Blanc are rare in that they are exceptional at all stages in their development, from very young to over a century old in particular vintages. The decision to age a wine implies the triumph of wisdom over curiosity and impatience. It is as risky as it is exciting as it draws you into a unique universe where it can reveal its many layers of complexity, achieving its optimum expression and glory. Through this slow and delicate process of evolution, eventually a wine will reach its peak condition.
Wine is a living being with a cultural history and it evolves, becoming more complex as the years pass by. Only the very best wines have the depth of soul needed to continue to improve with age. It is crucial, therefore, to master the age-old skills of storage, service and tasting.
