Cheval Blanc
About Château Cheval Blanc
Château Cheval Blanc, located on the “Pomerol side” of St-Émilion, is one of the most renowned wineries in the world. With its unique terroir of well-drained thick clay and gravel, the estate is able to make a Cabernet Franc dominant wine, which is rare in the region. Planted to 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot, the meticulous team at Château Cheval Blanc focuses on every aspect of viticulture management to winemaking, with a particular emphasis on aromatics. Technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet, assisted by the knowledgeable Professor Kees van Leeuwen on-site, studies every inch of the vineyard since planting in some cases.
Despite its high classification as one of the four Premier Grand Cru Classé A estates in St-Émilion, Château Cheval Blanc recently departed from the St-Emilion Classification system. Despite the departure, it has not affected the quality and reputation of the estate, which continues to produce some of the world’s greatest wines. Famed for its floral, smoky edges and whisps of perfectly ripened fruit, Château Cheval Blanc is truly one of the world's great wines and a must-try for any wine lover. Indulge in our extensive Cheval Blanc vertical, which includes some of the 100 pointed vintages like 1998, 2000, 2009, 2010 and more...

The Wine Independent (100)The 2010 Cheval Blanc is deep garnet in color, with a touch of brick. Broody to begin, offering wafts of tar, chargrill, and smoked meats, after considerable swirling the nose reveals a fragrant perfume of Morello cherries and violets, with a touch of star anise. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is packed with tightly knit, impactful black fruits, framed by firm, yet plush, tannins and bags of freshness, finishing very long and earthy. |

James Suckling (95)The second wine of Cheval shows such glorious yet subtle fruit with chocolate, dark berries such as blackberries, and a light spice character. A walnut undertone. It's soft and silky with wonderful balance and beauty. It goes on for minutes. Hard not to drink now. |
