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.

Château Cheval Blanc
Il crée des cuvées phénoménales, tous millésimes confondus. Certaines figurent même parmi les plus réputées de la planète… En un mot, le mythique Château Cheval Blanc se trouve au summum. Bernard Arnault et Albert Frère ont jeté leur dévolu sur la propriété à la fin des années 1990, ne lésinant pas sur les moyens pour faire de Cheval Blanc le plus grand château de la Rive Droite. Reconnu Grand Cru Classé A, Cheval Blanc met à l’honneur le cabernet franc, dans une proportion qui est la plus élevée de toute la région de Bordeaux. Limitrophe de l’appellation Pomerol, plus de la moitié de ses 39 hectares de vignes sont plantés de ce cépage. Le domaine compte quarante-cinq parcelles au total, disséminées sur toute la zone. Cette mosaïque de terroirs, ainsi que l’encépagement dominé par le cabernet franc, expliquent la grande complexité du vin. Un Cheval Blanc au profil classique se distingue par ses arômes riches et concentrés de petits fruits noirs, d’une complexité intense, et ses saveurs d’épices douces. Une dizaine d’années de garde ou plus révélera la texture soyeuse du grand vin Cheval Blanc dans toute sa splendeur. Un vin hors pair.
