2021 Château Cheval Blanc, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A) St-Emilion

2021 Château Cheval Blanc, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A) St-Emilion

Tasted April 2022. Cheval Blanc in 2021 is tremendous, with the majority Cabernet Franc in the blend creating a lovely aromatic wine, with tension and persistence. Rich and concentrated, with very fine tannins and dense wild fruit flavours with lifted violets and dried flowers. There's a gravelly complexity and spice from high quality oak. The fruit is precise, ripe and fresh, with some brighter red fruit combining with fresh acidity to create a very appetising wine, helped by a saline, mineral-driven finish.
