Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The 2015 Cheval Blanc is medium to deep garnet purple in color and is still incredibly original at this very youthful stage. With a little coaxing it develops beguiling aromas of ripe black cherries, mulberries, licorice, baking spices and smoked meats with hints of incense and potpourri as well as aromas of cast iron pans and crushed stones. Full-bodied, very rich, very firm/taut and with very ripe, fine-grained tannins, it gives a glimpse of its incredible depth of flavor with a very long, layered finish. Wow.

winery

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.
