(5-2000) Red. Brown. Nose. Medium intensity. Very, very cedar. Close to vegetal, not at all the maturity of 82 nor its sweetness, but a drier style. Ripe but drier! Strange. Simple. Clean and soft attack, developing on a round and smooth structure, medium-bodied. The whole is delicious, totally melted and lacks structure in the center. Finish full of softness and still firm, but in tactile nuance. Lovely wine totally ready to drink.

Past its expiration date, brick in color, this light-weight wine has entered its gentle state of decline. The last remaining vestiges of red plums are well-hidden behind all the green herb, tobacco, smoke, wet forest, truffle, cigar, mint, and earthy characteristics. The short finish is on the bright, tart side. There is no reason to hold this bottle any longer as it is only going to decline from here.

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.
