Famille Riviere Chateau Cheval Brun 2020 750ml

n the heart of Saint-Émilion, in the western part of the commune, this vineyard benefits from clay-limestone and sandy soils, with a subsoil of iron-rich clay that promotes drainage. Aged in a modern, temperature-controlled winery, the traditional fermentation at 28-32°C lasts approximately 21 days, with two to three daily pump-overs performed during the first few days of maceration to extract the best tannins. The wine is aged for 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels in vast medieval cellars carved into the rock in the very heart of the village of Saint-Émilion.

A harmonious blend of noble grape varieties: Merlot (85%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), and Cabernet Franc (5%). The wine's richness and fullness are primarily imparted by the Merlot, while the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes its finesse and power.

Sourced from the finest terroirs, Château Cheval Brun is a wine for aging, a model of balance between power, finesse , and elegance. It boasts a beautiful, intense purple color. The nose offers aromas of ripe fruit and spices with a slightly vanilla finish. These impressions are confirmed on the palate.
