Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A Saint-Emilion, 2022

Cheval Blanc 2022 is one of Bordeaux’s most coveted wines, produced by a legendary estate at the very top of Saint-Émilion’s hierarchy. Known for its remarkable finesse, depth, and perfume, it combines power with an almost satin-like elegance that has made Cheval Blanc an icon for generations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 vintage is likely to show a deep, vivid ruby core with youthful intensity. The nose is typically complex and captivating, with layers of ripe dark berries, plum, violet, subtle spice, graphite, and cedar, lifted by the estate’s signature aromatic precision. On the palate, Cheval Blanc is renowned for its seamless texture, refined tannins, and excellent balance between concentration and freshness. The 2022 should offer great depth and length, with a polished, multi-layered finish and strong aging potential. This is a wine built for patience and should evolve beautifully over decades.

Production
Cheval Blanc lies on the border of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, with a terroir of gravel, sand, and clay that gives the wine its distinctive combination of perfume, structure, and plushness. The vineyard is meticulously managed, with hand harvesting and careful parcel selection ensuring only the best fruit is used. Vinification is handled with exceptional precision to preserve purity, freshness, and the estate’s elegant style.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with refined dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle-based dishes, or game birds. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended if drinking young, ideally for 1–3 hours depending on age, to allow the wine’s ароматics and structure to open fully.
