Château Cheval Blanc 1990

Château Cheval Blanc 1990 is a legendary vintage from one of Saint-Émilion’s most prestigious estates, prized for its remarkable harmony, depth, and longevity. The Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend gives it a distinctive balance of structure, perfume, and plush texture, making it a benchmark wine from Bordeaux’s right bank.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby core with the first signs of brick-red maturity at the rim, reflecting its evolution in bottle. The nose is intensely layered, with aromas of ripe black fruits, cedar, leather, truffle, spice, roasted coffee, and a subtle earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rounded, and velvety, with beautifully integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish. It is drinking at a superb point now, yet still holds the concentration and balance to age further if stored well.

Production
Made from Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown on the esteemed Saint-Émilion terroir, this wine benefits from the estate’s exceptional gravelly and clay-limestone soils, which help produce both power and finesse. The grapes are carefully harvested and vinified with precision to preserve aromatic complexity, structure, and the silky mouthfeel that define Cheval Blanc’s style.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with refined dishes such as lamb, beef tenderloin, game, or truffle-based preparations, where its elegance and complexity can truly shine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant gently if needed; older bottles may only require brief aeration to preserve their delicate bouquet.
