Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The Grand Vin 2020 Château Cheval Blanc checks in as a blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that was raised, as always, in 100% new French oak. As usual with Cheval Blanc, it's primarily about finesse and elegance, as well as complexity, and exhibits a deep purple hue as well as a kaleidoscopic bouquet of sweet red and black fruits, spring flowers, spicy incense, loamy earth, and smoke tobacco. Absolutely flawless on the palate, it's full-bodied, has perfectly integrated oak, ripe, silky tannins, and a gorgeous finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. This powerful, concentrated Cheval Blanc offers pleasure even today (needs lots of air) but warrants 7-8 years of bottle age and will see its 40th birthday in fine form.

About the Producer

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.
