Cheval Blanc
Bordeaux
Burgundy
The great Cheval Blanc is one of Bordeaux’s most profound wines. The undisputed king of St. Emilion, this wine is said to have amazing flexibility – delicious when young, with the ability to gain weight and last a lifetime. Comprised of 57% Cabernet Franc and 42% Merlot from an average vine age of 45 years, Cheval Blanc produces just over 8,000 cases a vintage, with a second wine named Le Petit Cheval producing just over 3,000 cases.

Tasting Notes: Fully mature, but capable of lasting another 10-15 years, this flamboyantly scented wine (jammy black fruits, licorice, Asian spices, herbs, grilled meats) is a lusciously rich, opulent, medium to full-bodied, fat and juicy style of Cheval Blanc that seems to get better and better every time I taste it. Like so many Cheval Blancs, it has the uncanny ability to put on weight in the bottle. Last tasted 1/98 Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 Jan 1998 Parker Points: 93 Drinking Period: 1998-2005 |
