Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion Bordeaux 2018
- Country France
- Region Bordeaux
- Grape 54% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Case 6/75 IB & OWC now
- The 2018 Cheval Blanc is a blend of 54% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, with a 3.75 pH and 14.5% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple coloured, it needs considerable swirling and air to release fragrant notes of stewed plums, juicy black cherries and ripe blackberries with underlying suggestions of damp soil, black truffles, rose oil and cardamom with wafts of underbrush and iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely packed with rich black fruits and loads of earthy accents, framed by super firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness to balance, finishing with amazing length and a beautiful array of floral and mineral sparks. Thirty-three plots contributed to this wine out of the forty-three in production. Of the rest, five went into Petit Cheval and five into bulk. It will need a good 6-7 years at least to start strutting its stuff and should cellar for 30 years or more. 2027 - 2057.
