Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

While the blend is shifted more towards Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in 2017, the Chateau Cheval Blanc is nevertheless a beautiful wine in every sense and shows the hallmark elegance and complexity of this estate perfectly. Deep ruby/purple, with notes of ripe dark fruits, violets, rose petals, and spice, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ripe yet integrated tannins, terrific mid-palate concentration, and a great, great finish. Based on 66% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, give this incredibly floral, seamless 2017 5-7 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following two decades.

About the Producer

Cheval Blanc reigns unquestionably over Saint-Émilion. Its distinctive blend, dominated by Cabernet Franc, gives it a style and elegance admired across the Right Bank. Although it contains no Cabernet Sauvignon, this Premier Grand Cru Classé A remains an outstanding wine for ageing, evolving over years—indeed decades—to ultimately reveal highly complex bouquets where mocha intertwines with truffle and hints of raspberry.

Indispensable for lovers of great wines, this legendary cuvée is capable of retaining remarkable concentration even in very old vintages.

The iconic 1947 Cheval Blanc is the perfect proof: regarded as one of the five greatest wines in the world, it has matured for more than half a century, continuing to captivate the fortunate few who have the chance to taste it.
