Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2022 Château Cheval Blanc is based on 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up all in new oak, and this is the second year where no Petite Cheval was produced. (2015 was the last.) Its deep purple color is followed by a riveting Cheval Blanc that has fabulous aromatics of blackcurrants, spice, flowers, spicy wood, and white truffle. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, remarkably pure, elegant, seamless 2022 that has a layered, rounded mouthfeel, absolutely riveting purity, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It brings to mind a more refined, elegant version of the 2010 and is every bit its equal. Hitting 14% alcohol with a healthy pH of 3.83, it warrants a solid decade of bottle age and will have 40-50+ years of overall prime drinking.

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.
