Description

Characteristics and tasting advice for Château Cheval Blanc 2015

Tasting

Nose
After aeration, it releases captivating aromas of black cherries, wild blackberries, licorice, and sweet spices.

Palate
In the mouth, it unfolds a beautiful breadth and a great richness, supported by firm and refined tannins, before blossoming into a long and complex finish.

A fresh and beautifully complex wine from Saint-Émilion

The property

Known worldwide, Château Cheval Blanc, is part of the legendary properties of the wines from the right bank of the Bordeaux region. The second wine of the property, Petit Cheval, offers a superb introduction to the excellence of the grand wine Cheval Blanc, with racey, powerful wines, on a palate with striking and gourmet fruit. With a new cellar designed by Christian de Portzamparc and inaugurated in June 2011, Château Cheval Blanc continues to write the legend of the greatest wines of Bordeaux.

The vineyard

Château Cheval Blanc benefits from a unique and rare terroir composed of 39 hectares, of which 33.3 hectares are in production, enjoying a particular position on the plateau of Saint-Émilion. While the Saint-Émilion appellation is known for its limestone formations, Château Cheval Blanc is located on the quaternary alluvium of the Isle, a non-limestone formation with a varied texture, combining gravel and clay soils in roughly equal proportions. This particularity of the soils means that this property benefits from soils similar to those of the greatest wines of Pomerol.

Vinification and ageing

Parcel vinification using selected indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction followed by a long maceration accompanied by manual pump-overs and a single racking during the 4 weeks of vatting. Malolactic fermentation in vats. Ageing in barrels.
