William Kelley for Robert Parker

In the glass, the 2020 Cheval Blanc exudes aromas of mulberries, plums and cherries, mingling with hints of rose petals, licorice, sweet spices and lilacs. Full-bodied, broad and lush, it is layered and fleshy, with a ripe fruit core, sweet tannins and a long, expansive finish. While purists will prefer the cleaner, more precise and perfumed 2019, the 2020 will appeal to readers who love the richest and most powerful expressions of Cheval Blanc.

Château Cheval Blanc This 18th century château is located in the commune of Saint-Émilion on the right bank of the Gironde and has been awarded the highest distinction of “Premier Grand Cru Classé A” in all classifications to date (some even place it above this) and has the same reputation in Saint-Émilion as Château Mouton-Rothschild in the Médoc. As a novelty for the region, the red wine is made with a very high proportion of Cabernet Franc. Due to the iron-rich gravel and sandy soil on clay, this variety achieves a ripeness like nowhere else in Bordeaux. Château Cheval Blanc is best known for its special label, which depicts a leaping white stallion and has become a symbol of excellence and prestige in the wine world. The Château's Grand Vin is considered an icon. A unique, unmistakable wine that is coveted by wine lovers all over the world and is therefore hard to come by.
