2006 Chateau Cheval Blanc – Right Bank Elegance and Precision

The 2006 Chateau Cheval Blanc reflects the singular style that has made this Saint Emilion estate one of Bordeaux’s most revered names. Known for its Cabernet Franc–driven profile and distinctive gravel and clay soils, Cheval Blanc produces wines that emphasize balance, aromatic complexity, and longevity. The 2006 vintage offers a refined and classical expression of this identity.

Tasting Notes

The nose reveals layers of red cherry, blackberry, violet, and subtle spice, underscored by graphite and earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is supple yet structured, with finely textured tannins supporting fresh dark fruit and mineral notes. Acidity remains vibrant, carrying the wine through a long, composed finish that highlights precision rather than power.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is anchored by Cabernet Franc and Merlot, sourced from a mosaic of well-drained gravel and clay parcels unique to Cheval Blanc. Vinification is conducted with careful extraction, followed by aging in French oak barrels to enhance texture while preserving aromatic clarity. The 2006 growing season favored steady ripening, contributing to balance and definition.

Investment & Collectibility

Chateau Cheval Blanc remains a cornerstone of Right Bank Bordeaux collections. The 2006 vintage is valued for its classic structure and proven ability to evolve gracefully, maintaining strong interest among collectors seeking mature expressions of Saint Emilion.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2006 Bordeaux vintage produced wines of finesse and approachability, with Cheval Blanc standing out for its harmony and aging potential.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London.The 2006 Château Cheval Blanc is a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc. It has the most floral bouquet of the four Serié A Grand Cru Classé: an explosion of crushed violets and potpourri, hints of leather and cigar box, the Cabernet Franc clearly lending this complexity and character. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. It feels wonderfully structured and comes with an insistent grip that coats the mouth. This is backward and almost surly, but you have to stand back and admire the precision and arching structure on the mineral-rich finish. Top-dog Saint Emilion? That's for sure. Tasted January 2016. Reviewed by Neal Martin, May 2016. Drinking window: 2019-2040.

Vinous

Good deep ruby-red. Captivating nose combines blackberry, menthol, licorice, bitter chocolate, violet and a flinty, iron-like element. Densely packed and very fresh, with superb energy and definition to the complex flavors of cassis, blackberry, licorice, menthol and minerals. A floral element contributes to the impression of vibrancy. This is more impressive than it was at any stage of its elevage, offering surprising chewy richness and sweetness for a brand-new Cheval. Finishes with broad, toothdusting tannins that mount slowly and saturate the palate. This wonderfully smooth wine gained in precision and floral perfume with 24 hours in the recorked bottle and should be at its best roughly between 2015 and 2035.
