One of the unequivocally great wines of the vintage is the 2019 Cheval Blanc, a stunning young Saint-Émilion that wafts from the glass with aromas of wild berries and plums mingled with notions of lilac, pipe tobacco, violets, raw cocoa, licorice, crushed mint and burning embers. Full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's deep and intense, with beautifully rich, powdery tannins and vibrant flavors. Concluding with a long, saline finish, this rivals the 2016 as the finest Cheval Blanc of the decade, and in many respects it might be thought of as the latter vintage's sun-kissed cousin. Bravo to Pierre-Olivier Clouet and his team!

The 2019 Cheval Blanc is a stunning, riveting wine. There is simply nothing like a great Cheval in all of Bordeaux. Soaring aromatics are immediately alluring. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, espresso and dried herbs build in a Cheval that possesses tremendous layers and exceptional balance. Clean, mineral notes lend tension and drive. The 2019 is a bit strict today and not ready to show all its cards, but it is very clearly a special, special wine in the making. In 2019, the Grand Vin represents 82.5% of the estate's production, a very high amount by any measure. I wouldn't dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. The 2019 is an eternal Cheval Blanc. AG

This has loads of dark currant, fig and blackberry preserve notes that are supported by dense waves of loam and warm gravel, all hallmarks of the 2019 growing season. But there's an extra dimension here, thanks to its remarkably lush and fine-grained texture, with endless ripples of tobacco, bay and singled sandalwood and balsam wood through the finish. In the end, it's the combination of power, refinement and expressing an essentially unharnessable vintage that sets this red apart from the pack. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2025 through 2045. —J.M. <br/>

Château Cheval Blanc
Annata dopo annata, producendo vini fenomenali, alcuni dei quali sono i più celebri del mondo, il leggendario Château Cheval Blanc è sulla cresta dell'onda. Bernault Arnault e Albert Frère acquistarono la proprietà alla fine degli anni '90 e, senza badare a spese, i due soci puntarono a rendere Cheval Blanc il più grande Château sulla Sponda Destra di Bordeaux. Classificato come proprietà Grand Cru Classé A, Cheval Blanc possiede senza dubbio il maggior numero di vigne di Cabernet Franc di Bordeaux. Al confine della denominazione Pomerol, con oltre la metà dei 39 ettari di terreno impiantati a Cabernet Franc, la tenuta è composta da quarantacinque lotti separati e sparsi in tutta la regione. Questi appezzamenti così frammentati e l'alta percentuale di Cabernet Franc determinano la grande complessità del vino. Un Cheval Blanc in stile classico può essere descritto dagli aromi di frutti neri e spezie ricchi, concentrati e intensamente complessi. Almeno dieci anni d’invecchiamento sveleranno al meglio la struttura serica del Grand Vin, lo Cheval Blanc. Un vino senza rivali.
