2021 Chateau Cheval Blanc – Finesse and Structure from Saint Emilion

The 2021 Chateau Cheval Blanc reflects the estate’s enduring commitment to elegance, precision, and balance, even in a challenging vintage. Situated on the border between Saint Emilion and Pomerol, Cheval Blanc is defined by its unique gravel and clay soils, which lend aromatic complexity and structural clarity to its wines. The 2021 release emphasizes restraint and transparency over sheer power.

Tasting Notes

The nose is expressive and refined, offering aromas of red cherry, blackberry, violet, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and finely layered, with supple tannins supporting fresh fruit and mineral tones. Cabernet Franc brings lift and aromatic detail, while Merlot adds roundness and depth. The finish is long, poised, and quietly persistent.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is led by Cabernet Franc with Merlot in a supporting role, reflecting the estate’s signature style. Each parcel is vinified separately to preserve site expression, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The cooler conditions of 2021 favored freshness and moderate alcohol, aligning naturally with Cheval Blanc’s emphasis on balance and longevity.

Investment & Collectibility

Chateau Cheval Blanc remains one of the most collectible Right Bank wines, valued for consistency and longevity rather than vintage-driven extremes. The 2021 vintage appeals to collectors seeking classical proportions and long-term development potential within Saint Emilion.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2021 Bordeaux growing season produced wines marked by finesse and aromatic clarity. At Cheval Blanc, careful vineyard management and selection resulted in a wine praised for its precision and composure.

Jeb Dunnuck

(Rating 94 - 96+) The Grand Vin 2021 Château Cheval Blanc checks in as 52% Cabernet Franc, 43% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, and it's a big step up over the second wine, offering serious density, depth, and richness while still holding onto the style of the vintage. Pure cassis and darker fruits, notes of scorched earth and graphite, obvious minerality, medium to full body, and gorgeous tannins all define this beauty, which is unquestionably up with the finest wines of the vintage. A wine that's never about overt power or richness, the 2021 shines on all accounts with its complexity, elegance, and incredible texture. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: February 2022.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 95 - 97) A terrific achievement, the 2021 Cheval Blanc is a blend of 52% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, vine smoke, rose petals and violets, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with an elegantly muscular chassis of ripe, powdery tannin and lively animating acids. Long and penetrating, this is a serious, rather structured young Cheval Blanc that will require and reward patience. Reviewed by William Kelley, Issue date: April 2022.

Vinous

(Rating 96 - 98) The 2021 Cheval Blanc is one of the wines of the vintage. Vertical and aristocratic in bearing, Cheval is just stunning. Time in the glass brings out compelling inner sweetness and perfume to play off a core of rich dark fruit, gravel, spice, menthol and dried flowers. I also tasted the final three blending components, none of which hints at the magnificence of the Grand Vin. Stunning. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: April 2022. Drinking window: 2031 - 2061.
