2023 Château Cheval Blanc, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 52% Merlot; 46% Cabernet Franc; 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is a wine of exceptional potential. On first impressions, it is very structured and architectural, although with evident energy, but the Cabernet Franc element is rather quiet. Pierre-Olivier Clouet, part of the furniture here since 2008 (as technical director and now the managing director), has no concerns that the aromatics will arrive. When they do, this will evolve into something quite special.

Everything is in place: the infrastructural skein of taut but mature tannins; a reserved but considered minerality; and a fine tension between the elements. This is probably a slow-burner, and its progress through élevage will be fascinating to witness.

Drink 2034 - 2060

Our score: 18.5/20

About this wine

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
