An underrated vintage, the 2011 Cheval Blanc is evolving brilliantly. Wafting from the glass with aromas of smoky cassis, blackberries, loamy soil, tobacco leaf, bitter chocolate, mint and violets, it's full-bodied, velvety and multidimensional, with a layered core of fruit, rich and powdery structuring tannin and a long, resonant finish. While the 2009 and 2010 are more powerful and unctuous, readers who prize Cheval Blanc for its extraordinary complexity and unique perfume might well prefer the 2011, as it is a wine that could come from nowhere else.

Very perfumy, with lovely red and black fruit that's pure and refined. There's a creamy feel, with hints of bergamot, cassis and toasted spice. Long and very suave through the finish. Well put together. Tasted non-blind.—J.M.

The 2011 Cheval Blanc has an elegant, quite refined bouquet with brambly red fruit, scorched earth, terracotta and sage, very complex and harmonious. Could this be Figeac? [Post-script. No, but not far off!] The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, quite plush and sensual, rich for this vintage with plenty of concentrated, quite sweet and spicy, hoisin-tinged fruit on the precise finish. This is a very fine Saint-Émilion. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Deep and rich with a lovely balance of ripe black berries, bitter chocolate and smoke. A ripe and generous style, the fine tannins already nicely softened. Long, supple and gentle finish that’s very appealing, but slightly simple. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.
Hersteller
Château Cheval Blanc
Das legendäre Château Cheval Blanc produziert Jahrgang für Jahrgang phänomenale Weine, darunter einige der namhaftesten auf der Welt. Bernard Arnault und Albert Frère kauften das Gut in den späten 1990er Jahren und scheuen keine Kosten, um es zum vortrefflichsten Château am rechten Bordeaux-Ufer zu machen. Klassifiziert als Grand Cru Classé der Stufe A, hat das Cheval Blanc zweifellos die höchstgelegenen Weinberge mit Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux. Insgesamt besitzt das Gut fünfundvierzig einzelne Parzellen, verstreut in dem Gebiet an der Grenze zur Appellation Pomerol, davon über 39 Hektar Cabernet Franc. Dieser einzigartige Flickenteppich und der hohe Anteil Cabernet Franc machen die großartige Komplexität dieses Weines aus. Ein Cheval Blanc mit klassischer Stilistik lässt sich anhand seiner reichen, konzentrierten und hochkomplexen dunklen Beerenfrüchte und sämtlicher Gewürzaromen beschreiben. Nach zehn Jahren oder noch längerer Lagerung entfaltet sich die strukturierte seidige Textur des Grand Vin, Cheval Blanc, auf höchstem Niveau. Ein wahrlich unübertroffener Wein.
