Chateau Cheval Blanc 2023

Château Cheval Blanc is one of Bordeaux's most iconic wines, celebrated for its elegance, precision, and longevity. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet, graphite, cedar, and fine spice lead to a silky, layered palate with remarkable freshness, refined tannins, and an exceptionally long finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle dishes, or aged hard cheeses for an unforgettable dining experience.

100 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

From bottle, the 2023 Château Cheval Blanc is one of the most compelling wines of the vintage, just as it was from cask. Bursting with aromas of cherries and mulberries mingled with notions of violets, rose petal and anise, it's full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a deep and enveloping core of vibrant fruit, ripe tannins and a long, expansive finish. It's a blend of 52% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, drawing on fully 46 of the blocks that make up Cheval Blanc, and it attained 13.8% alcohol.

99 Points - James Suckling

Blackberry and dark chocolate aromas with bark, mushrooms, stems, flint, lead pencil and a hint of violets. Medium-bodied with a toned structure from the tight, compressed palate and fine, polished tannins. Extremely long. A blend of 52% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2029.

97 Points - Wine Enthusiast

While Merlot makes up just over a majority of the blend, it is the Cabernet Franc that dominates the taste. Licorice and dark coffee aromas are followed by dense black-plum fruits and layers of dark tannins. It is powerful—a great wine from this top estate that will age well.
