Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2022

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck                                                                                                 Fabulous aromatics of blackcurrants, spice, flowers, spicy wood, and white truffle. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, remarkably pure, elegant, seamless 2022 that has a layered, rounded mouthfeel, absolutely riveting purity, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It brings to mind a more refined, elegant version of the 2010 and is every bit its equal.

99-100 Points James Suckling                                                                                          This is a wine that soars to new heights with its brightness and weightlessness. The balance of serene fruit that’s perfectly ripe. Full-bodied yet tight and polished where it seems delicate and compressed, with berry, chocolate and walnut character. The finish is endless and poised. 53% merlot, 46% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon.

98 Points Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate                                                                The 2022 Château Cheval Blanc has turned out beautifully in bottle, bursting from the glass with aromas of minty mulberries, licorice and rose petals mingled with hints of pipe tobacco and baking chocolate. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it's layered and unctuous, with sweet, powdery tannins and a broad, enveloping profile, concluding with a long, fragrant finish. Flamboyant but controlled,

1er Grand Cru Classe "A" property from Saint-Emilion with state of the art cellar and facility deisgned by French architect Christian de Portzamparc. The estate consists of 39 hectares divided into 45 plots. Each one is treated like a separate vineyard because of the differences in the age of the vines, grape variety and soil type.  This "tailor-made" winemaking means that vats correspond exactly to individual vineyard plots and is conducive to fine-tuning the final blend of the wines. There is extreme attention to detail throughout the winemaking process.

Post fermentation, the wine spends 16 to 18 months in long rows of barrels in a vast underground cellar. Each barrel is numbered and replaced every year, they are made exclusively from French oak trees aged 180-300 years old.
