Sweet, fragrant, elegant, stylish, lovely. My top wine at Cheval Blanc dinner (including 47, 59, 61, 64 and 70).

Not decanted. Dark red color. Medium intensity. Evolved. Very fine nose. Complex. Orange. Gingerbread. Lemon. Grapefruit. Wild strawberry. Caramel. Clean and supple attack, developing on a very, very smooth structure. Very slow complex and gentle evolution, almost sweet. Finish on a fine and subtle tannin, totally surprising in its richness for a Cabernet Franc. Yield 18 hl/ha.

A rather meaty and rich wine with an abundance of developed fruit flavors. Deep ruby center with a garnet edge, and light stewed tomato, tobacco and orange peel aromas; full-bodied, with velvety tomato and tobacco flavors and a lovely, silky finish.

Magnum served blind initially alongside Monte Bello 1971. Wonderfully sweet, round and florally aromatic with a beautifully smooth texture. A brilliant wine, even if not a blockbuster, and one that I was given blind by owner Jacques Hébrard when I visited the château while researching The Great Wine Book in 1981. I'm delighted to be able to add a tasting note on it to our database – even if it is arguably more enthusiastic than explicatory. Still going strong.

Château Cheval Blanc

Château Cheval Blanc is a wine estate located in the commune of Saint-Emilion, on the border of the Pomerol appellation. The Château is a Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the official classification of Saint-Emilion classified growths. The vineyard consists of a single 37-hectare plot with several grape varieties: Cabernet Franc (49%), Merlot (47%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (4%). The estate produces the "Grand vin de Cheval Blanc" in red as well as a second wine "Le Petit Cheval" which is made in both red and white.

Cheval Blanc is one of the most consistent estates in the world, with the ability to be excellent at any age. The château's greatest vintages are 1921, 1945, the 1947 vintage, and 1949. There are also great successes in the 1950 vintage, 1953 wines, and the grand crus of 1959 and 1961. Finally, the wines from the 1990, 1998, and 2000 vintages are excellent.
