CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2024 Cheval Blanc was picked from September 18 until October 3 and aged entirely in new oak with a little dabbling in concrete tanks and amphorae. The purity on the nose is the first facet that you notice with perfumed black cherry, blackcurrant, wild strawberry and touches of potpourri and crushed stone. There is certainly some <em>mineralite</em> here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly brittle tannins. Very well balanced, this is clearly a Cheval Blanc built in a more elegant, sapid, linear style with a residual pepperiness that lingers in the mouth. It will need just 2 or 3 years in bottle and should drink well for 20 to 25 years. The 2024 is charming and refined.

48% Cabernet Franc, 46% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. 28 hl/ha. 54% of the harvest. Cask sample.Cabernet-led with the Merlot fleshing out the middle and providing identity. Plenty of freshness with fine, integrated tannins providing length and persistence. Light to medium weight but the oak (new) completely absorbed. Dark-fruit notes again on the finish. Less seductive than some years but has potential. (JL)
