Chateau Cheval Blanc St. Emilion Grand Cru 2015 750ml

In 2015, out of the Estate’s 39 hectares (52 plots), 31.6 ha were in production (41 plots), 4.7 ha lay fallow (6 plots) and 2.7 ha were planted with young vines (5 plots). The vineyards were planted with 47% Merlot, 49% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon.

With a discreet initial nose, Château Cheval Blanc 2015 quickly reveals a complex aroma of red and black fruit, including cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant. Floral notes of violet, rose, peony, and lilac are also prominent, while hints of caramel, pepper, and spices add a touch of richness. The attack is creamy and voluminous, leading to a mid-palate with powerful, plush, round, and elegant tannins. The persistent fresh and fruity finish of this wine is a testament to its exquisite balance between tannins and acidity, resulting in an impressive aromatic intensity.
