About Château Cheval Blanc 2018
Bottle (75cl)

Premier Grand Cru Classé A, Château Cheval Blanc represents all the excellence of the Saint-Emilion appellation.

The Château Cheval Blanc vineyard covers an area of 39 hectares of a multi-faceted terroir, composed of sand, gravel and clay, which partly explains the complexity of the wines produced by the estate.
Only three types of grape varieties are cultivated here, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The harvest is manual and worthy of a goldsmith's work with up to three successive sortings before a meticulous vinification and a precise and rigorous ageing in new oak barrels.

Cheval Blanc 2018 is a blend of Merlot (54%), Cabernet Franc (40%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (6%). In the glass, it has a magnificent dark, almost black colour with some purple tints, and has a lively and complex bouquet of ripe and candied red and black berries. On the second nose, the tertiary scents become clearer, notes of flowers and spices emerge from the glass accompanied by subtle touches of earth and truffles in the background.
On the palate, Château Cheval Blanc 2018 offers a rich and moderately full-bodied attack. The mid-palate is full of fresh and juicy fruit aromas, supported by abundant, straight and silky tannins, forming a complex yet perfectly balanced blend leading to an incredibly long and elegant finish.
