CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1982

Wine 1982 1er Grand Cru Classé A  Bordeaux Saint Emilion

The 1982 vintage is extraordinary, both in terms of quality and quantity. Château Cheval Blanc 1982 is one of the finest successes. The intense and slightly tiled color shows us the age of the wine. A very intense and spicy nose with notes of cocoa, coffee and a hint of smoke. On the palate, the attack is silky, soft and non-aggressive. The wine has velvety tannins and a significant richness on the palate. This Château Cheval Blanc is remarkable and does not show the signs of an old wine. This incredible longevity will seduce lovers of great wines.

(9-2009) Bright ruby with lots of development at the rim - really quite pale. Only lightly scented. Then very warm and rich on the front palate with a slight lack of focus. A bit smudgy and velvety. The finish is drying out a little. Definitely on the way down. Did it get a bit hot? Or was there a shortage of vat space? Clean minty finish. Fresh - it would be a lovely drink in isolation.... Pleasant without being a standout and certainly not robust.

A charming, winsome wine but more to it than is revealed at first glance. In 1995 a majour horizontal of 1982s in Hong Kong, the lightest of the first growths, a lovely wine. In 1996 in Brussels, an undramatic but harmounious nose. More interesting on the palate: sweet, elegant, stylish. In 1997, among a wine variety of 1982s, my joint highest marke with Petrus and Le Pin. Later than summer, rich, bricky bouquet; well evolved with extract btu with a slightly bitter tannic-irn finish. In 1999 showing well with lovely flavour, still tannic.

During its first 10-12 years of life, this was a perfect wine, but it now seems to be in a stage where the fruit is still present, but the previous exuberance and intensity have faded slightly. There is plenty of amber at the edge, and this medium to full-bodied wine shows notes of menthol, cedar, spice box, plums, and black cherries.

If a wine can be hedonistic and seductive at the same time, it would be the 1982 Cheval Blanc. I had the privilege of tasting this wine twice over the past 6 months and both times I fell in love with it from the first sip. It has the maturity and depth of a beautifully aged 30 year old while it maintains the freshness and structure of a wine at least 10 years younger. This is a perfect Cheval Blanc.

Château Cheval Blanc

Château Cheval Blanc is one of the most iconic estates of the Saint-Émilion appellation, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé A, it holds a singular place in the history of the Bordeaux vineyard, both for the exceptional consistency of its quality and for the uniqueness of its terroir and grape varieties. Located at the natural border between Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, the estate benefits from a rare mosaic of soils in Bordeaux, combining gravel, clay and sand.

The vineyard of Château Cheval Blanc extends over approximately 39 hectares, divided into numerous distinct parcels, each vinified separately in order to preserve the expression of its terroir. The grape variety, dominated by Cabernet Franc, complemented by Merlot and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, constitutes an exception in Saint-Émilion and gives the wines a slender structure, natural freshness and remarkable aging potential.

The estate's philosophy is based on extremely precise parcel viticulture, controlled yields and vinifications conducted with rigor and restraint. The aging process accompanies the wine without ever masking the purity of the fruit or the complexity of the terroir. The wines of Château Cheval Blanc are distinguished by their rare balance between intensity, finesse and aromatic depth.

Among the iconic vintages are notably Château Cheval Blanc 1947, Château Cheval Blanc 1949, Château Cheval Blanc 1955, Château Cheval Blanc 1982, Château Cheval Blanc 1990, Château Cheval Blanc 1998, Château Cheval Blanc 1989, Château Cheval Blanc 2000, Château Cheval Blanc 2005, Château Cheval Blanc 2010, regularly praised for their longevity and elegance.
