Chateau Cheval Blanc traces its origins to 1832, when land was separated from the neighboring Chateau Figeac to form a new estate near the Pomerol border. The name, meaning white horse, has become synonymous with one of Bordeaux's most singular terroirs. One of the original two Premier Grand Cru Classe A properties, the estate is guided today by manager Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet.

The vineyard sits on a rare mix of gravel, clay and sand rather than the limestone typical of Saint-Emilion, lending the wine much of the richness associated with neighboring Pomerol. Cabernet Franc makes up the largest share of plantings, a departure from the Merlot-driven blends common in the appellation. The 2023 vintage combines fifty-two percent Merlot, forty-six percent Cabernet Franc and two percent Cabernet Sauvignon, aged sixteen to eighteen months in new French oak.

Aromas of violets, lilac and dark berry fruit lead into a supple, medium to full-bodied palate carrying notes of iris root, mulberry and gentle spice. Fine tannins support a long, perfumed finish with real aging potential. Pour it alongside herb-crusted lamb, duck breast or a well-marbled ribeye, or pair with truffle dishes and aged cheese.

98-100 Points
"One of the most profound wines of the vintage is the 2023 Cheval Blanc, a striking wine that stands out for its strong sense of identity and seamless integration at such an early stage in its life. Wafting from the glass with notes of mulberries, lilac, dark fruits, iris root and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with a gourmand core of cool, vibrant fruit that entirely conceals its sweet structuring tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. It's a blend of 52% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, drawing on fully 46 of the blocks that make up Cheval Blanc, and it attained 13.8% alcohol."
