Château Cheval Blanc, Saint Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2017

Château Cheval Blanc is one of Saint-Émilion’s most celebrated names, and the 2017 vintage captures the estate’s trademark finesse, depth, and elegance. Classified as a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, it offers the kind of precision and prestige that has made Cheval Blanc a benchmark for Bordeaux collectors worldwide.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep, polished ruby color with excellent clarity. The bouquet is refined and layered, with aromas of ripe dark berries, plum, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, often supported by fresh herbal and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is known for its silky texture, finely knit tannins, and remarkable balance between fruit richness and freshness. The finish is long and composed, with the structure to evolve beautifully over time. In a vintage like 2017, it should already be expressive, yet it also has strong aging potential and can reward cellaring for many years.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Cheval Blanc’s renowned gravelly and sandy terroirs, the estate benefits from exceptional drainage and a rare mix of soils that help create complexity and finesse. The vineyard is traditionally associated with a high proportion of Merlot alongside Cabernet Franc, a blend that contributes both plushness and aromatic lift. Vinification is carried out with meticulous parcel selection and careful élevage to preserve purity, texture, and the estate’s signature elegance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, beef tenderloin, lamb, game birds, and dishes with truffle, mushroom, or earthy vegetable elements. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
