Anmeldelser af Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2020

98-100/100 Y. Casating, Anthocyanes

99/100 Decanter
“Spice, anis, rosemary, blackcurrant leaf, redcurrants, mint and peonies - the full array of aromatics are on display here, and there is an enveloping aspect to the fruit once you get to the body of the wine. The tannins are compact and powerful but they are wrapped in plump raspberry and blackberry brambled fruits. The wine feels full of life, with acidity that pulls the palate forward from the first moment, before austerity kicks in on the finish and closes things in, suggesting an extremely long life ahead. Hard to argue with this. 71% of overall production. The driest year at Cheval Blanc for 50 years (since 1959). Could go up after tasting in bottle, a potential 100 points.”

Om Château Cheval Blanc

Chateau Cheval Blanc er beliggende i St.-Émilions-appellationens vestlige periferi, nær grænsen til Pomerol. Da jordbunden her er grusholdig og varm, yder parfumerede Cabernet Franc vigtigt modspil til potentielt alkoholtunge Merlot. Cheval Blanc grundlagdes i 1830’erne, med vinmarker som oprindeligt tilhørte naboejendommen Chateau Figéac. Louis Vuitton Möet-Hennesy overtog Cheval Blanc i 1998, og produktionen ledes i dag af manager Pierre Lurton og winemaker Pierre Olivier Clouet. Cheval Blanc er én af i alt fire vine med fornemste St.-Émilion-klassifikation, Premier Grand Cru Classé (A). Beplantet areal: 39 hektar. Andenvin: Le Petit Cheval.
