Saint Émilion Grand Cru - Château Cheval Blanc 2005 - 18L
The Estate
Known worldwide, Château Cheval Blanc, Premier Grand Cru Classé A, is part of the legendary properties of wines from the Right Bank of the Bordeaux region. Cheval Blanc benefits from a unique and rare terroir, enjoying a special position on the plateau of Saint-Émilion. While the Saint-Émilion appellation is known for its limestone formations, Château Cheval Blanc is located on the quaternary alluvium of the Isle, a non-limestone formation with varied texture, combining soils of gravel and clay in roughly equal proportions. This peculiarity of the soils means that Cheval Blanc benefits from soils similar to those of the greatest Crus of Pomerol.

Tasting: the Cheval Blanc 2005 continues to improve with each tasting. Straddling hedonism and classicism, this wine, once aerated, reveals an intriguing bouquet of potpourri, mint, truffle, cherry blossom, and plum. A perfect blend of liveliness and sensuality, although it is still in its early stages, it is impossible not to be charmed by its concentration, balance, energy, and nuances of sweet, ripe, very ripe, and slightly green red and black fruits. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2060. |
