Chateau Cheval Blanc

Case Format: 150cl

Max score: 95

Drink To: 2025-2052

The leading estate in Saint-Émilion, Château Cheval Blanc has continued to create beautifully complex wines that are unrivalled in terms of finesse, flavour and cellaring potential. Unusual for Saint-Émilion, Cheval Blanc uses majority Cabernet Franc in its blend (c.52%), resulting in a wine that is fresh, elegant and delicate. The 39-hectare estate is divided into 45 different plots where each one is treated differently to account for the age of the vines, soil type and more. Their rich terroir is formed of gravel, clay and sandy soils all which sit atop a sedimentary rock – this unusual mixed terrain is what allows Cheval Blanc to stand out. Château Cheval Blanc are committed to honouring the land that produces their magnificent wines and at the forefront of recent work has been an unwavering commitment to biodiversity and agroecology in a bid to allow the vineyards to thrive and to ensure the longevity of the estate amidst the ongoing crisis of climate change.

Neal Martin

The 2014 Cheval Blanc has an almost Left Bank-inspired bouquet, tarry black fruit, tobacco and forest floor scents unfolding in the glass, though not as "immediate" as the Canon. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy, very well balanced and nuanced with one of the few what I would describe as "precise" finishes that beckon you back for the next sip. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

"Medium garnet colored, the 2014 Cheval Blanc is still looking very youthful and wearing a bit of puppy fat, sporting gregarious red and black cherries notes with hints of oolong tea, wilted roses and dusty soil. Medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the lively fruit, it finishes on a lingering perfumed note."

Tasted blind. Deeply colour with bricky rim. Cedary mature red fruits. Leafy, too. Lightish body but the balance is there in a leaner style. Elegant and long if not generous. Leafy aftertaste, finely textured. Elegant and long and I marked this up half a point when I went back to it at the end of the flight. (JH)
