Notes and pairings

Tasting notes

The 2022 Château Cheval Blanc reveals itself in a deep red with purplish highlights. On the nose, a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and violet flowers unfolds with elegance. On the palate, this wine offers a velvety texture, silky tannins, and a lovely freshness, highlighting the richness of the Merlot. The long and harmonious finish leaves a delicate imprint of candied fruit and aromatic herbs.

Food & wine pairings

Ideal with duck breast with cherries or a mature cheese like Comté.
Producer

Producer

Clay, gravel, and predominantly sandy soils: three main soil types coexist within the 56 plots of Cheval Blanc. Adding to this natural richness is a unique grape variety composition, very atypical in the world of the Right Bank: Château Cheval Blanc is indeed made up primarily of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, but also Cabernet Sauvignon.

Owner and history

Owned by Bernard Arnaud and Albert Frère since 1998, Château Cheval Blanc is now managed and directed by Pierre Lurton. Surrounded by a young and brilliant team, including Pierre-Olivier Clouet and Arnaud de Laforcade, he is bringing Cheval Blanc to new heights. With him, perfection is achieved quietly through hard work, high standards, attention to detail, and genuine care. The meticulous care given to the vines, the winemaking techniques, and the winemakers' decisions: everything is carefully considered to achieve the single objective of quality.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Cheval Blanc is an art in itself. After a careful hand-harvesting, the grapes are meticulously sorted. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the aromas. Aging in oak barrels lasts approximately 18 months, allowing the wine to refine and develop complex notes. This meticulous process ensures perfect integration of the tannins, resulting in an elegant structure and a beautiful length on the palate.
