The 2019 Cheval Blanc is much more understated on the nose compared to its peers. Cedar and graphite merge with black fruit, but it is missing a bit of vigor at present. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite structured though a little more austere and drier. Grouchy, which makes me think of Lafleur when it`s young. Very impressive length though. A deceptive wine. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. - Neil Martin
Château Cheval Blanc is the iconic Saint-Émilion property, owned by Bernard Arnault [LVMH] and the Frère family. In 2021, the 39-hectare estate shocked the wine world by withdrawing from the Saint-Émilion classification system, along with Château Ausone. This is the 2019 vintage of its Grand Vin, a blend of 58% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine boasts a distinctive wild-berried profile, complemented by notes of violets and liquorice, leading to a very long finish. Available here in half-bottles.
