CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1989

Wine 1989 1er Grand Cru Classé A  Bordeaux Saint Emilion

Optimal maturity: 2004 - 2045
1989 is unquestionably a great vintage for red Bordeaux and this trend is confirmed through this Château Cheval Blanc 1989. A very deep, almost brick-colored robe, a delicate, soft and silky nose. On the palate, the wine reveals a beautiful structure, still with very characteristic aromas typical of Cheval Blanc: red fruits, blackcurrant and cherries. The Cheval Blanc 1989 has reached maturity, but the wine's freshness may allow its peak to be extended.

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux
A legendary year where Cheval was among wines of the vintage Still full of life even if the tertiary notes are domiant, with truffled spice, tobacco, cocoa and cinammon, touches of saffron and raspberry puree but with an incredible freshness on the finish for a wine that is now 32 years old. The tannins are so finely spun at this point that you barely get any resistance from them, and yet a gentle power and sense of confidence is still unmissable. Generous and so moreish. Overall it was a great Pomerol year and Cheval is famously located right next door to this appellation and on similar soils.

An exceptional Cheval Blanc that blew me away. Last tasted in magnum more than 15 years ago, the wine has blossomed and evolved into a magnificent beauty with tension, structure and amazing depth of flavors - filled with savory herbs, spices, dried fruits and dried violets. A phenomenal wine perfect after 2 hours of decanting.

Tasted at Cheval Blanc dinner at The Ledbury. One of the finest vintages of Cheval Blanc in recent years, this is the best bottle that I have encountered. It has a show-stopping bouquet of bacon fat, roasted chestnut, blackberry and still that heavenly tincture of Italian meats. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, so vigorous and “confident” with a tangible meatiness to that ebullient red fruit that is degrading at a glacial pace. Lovely poise on the finish with that walnut notes once again, although I did remark that over time in the glass it relinquished some of its harmony. Still, this is a Cheval that oozes charisma.

Dark ruby garnet, ochre reflections, broader lightening at the rim. Delicately herbal-spiced black berry fruit, a hint of licorice, walnuts and blackberry confit, distinctly meaty bouquet. Juicy and complex on the palate, underpinned with fine roasted aromas, sweet, firm chocolatey texture, in this format at absolute drinking peak, a mature food companion par excellence.

With more concentration, this would rock. It has the silky, exotic textures, complex nose that marries cedar, tobacco, cigar box, floral, cherry and plum notes, but the lack of depth and length keeps it from earning a higher score. This is probably at full maturity. It should remain here for at least another decade or 2.

The Wine Palate : A blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc, the 1989 Cheval Blanc comes from a dry, hot vintage. It has a medium brick color and the nose begins with ferrous wafts of rusty nails, giving way to a core of redcurrant preserves, sweaty leather, dusty soil, and incense, followed by a touch of unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate is elegant, refreshing, and soft-textured, delivering a lifted finish.

Sweet and spicy on the nose though initially fairly light in terms of impact. At first it seemed a bit tight and mean although it opened up in the glass. A pretty impressive drink but without the conviction of the Lhose 1989s served alongside.

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.
