CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC 2008 (1)

Saint-Émilion. Grand Cru Classé A
scuffed label

The 2008 Cheval Blanc (55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc) is a winner from this underrated, classic vintage. Notes of forest floor, Asian plum sauce, black currants, sweet cherries and spice are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with deep fruit, admirable purity, and a long, textured finish. May 2011 WA 93

CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC 2009 (1)

Saint-Émilion. Grand Cru Classé A

Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Cheval Blanc offers up profound notions of baked blueberries, blackberry compote and crème de cassis with suggestions of chocolate mint, new leather and cloves plus a waft of candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is an exercise in elegance with very classy, super fine-grained tannins, beautiful freshness and layer upon layer of mineral-laced blue and black fruits, finishing long and perfumed. March 2019 Drink: 2020-2057 WA 100
