Breeding
16 to 18 months in 100% new oak barrels
On the eye
Intense ruby-red with violet reflections in youth, evolving to a deep, lustrous garnet that speaks to considerable phenolic concentration.
On the nose
Complex and layered: red and dark fruits combine with the distinctive floral signature of Cabernet Franc—violet and peony—in a composition of considerable refinement and aromatic depth.
In the mouth
Fine attack followed by a rich, dense palate with silken texture. The finish is marked by fresh red fruit and mineral elegance, with a lingering aromatic persistence that speaks to the wine's structure and breeding.
Cheval Blanc's defining quality is its timelessness. Unlike more opulent neighbours, it eschews raw power for purity. This is a wine that achieves both the complexity of a great Médoc and the voluptuousness of a Libournais wine. Its reputation rests on remarkable consistency: even in challenging vintages, it maintains an elegance and balance that few wines in the world can match.
