2022 Chateau Cheval Blanc – Poise and Precision from Saint Emilion

The 2022 Chateau Cheval Blanc represents a defining modern expression from one of Bordeaux’s most distinctive estates. Situated on the border of Saint Emilion and Pomerol, Cheval Blanc is celebrated for its singular terroir and Cabernet Franc–driven style. In 2022, the estate delivered a wine that balances concentration with remarkable freshness, shaped by meticulous vineyard work and thoughtful extraction.

Tasting Notes

The aromatic profile opens with dark cherry, blackberry, violet, and subtle graphite. On the palate, the wine is layered and refined, offering supple texture supported by fine-grained tannins. Cabernet Franc contributes lift and floral complexity, while Merlot adds depth and roundness. The finish is long and composed, marked by clarity, energy, and mineral tension.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is anchored by Cabernet Franc alongside Merlot, sourced from well-drained gravel and clay soils unique to Cheval Blanc. Parcel-by-parcel vinification and gentle extraction preserve purity and balance, followed by aging in French oak barrels selected to enhance texture without dominating the fruit. The warm 2022 growing season was moderated by attentive vineyard management, maintaining freshness and structure.

Investment & Collectibility

Chateau Cheval Blanc remains one of the most coveted wines of the Right Bank, prized for its consistent quality and long aging curve. The 2022 vintage combines pedigree, scarcity, and modern precision, reinforcing its position in elite fine wine collections worldwide.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2022 Bordeaux vintage produced wines of concentration balanced by energy. Early critical assessments highlight Cheval Blanc’s harmony and structural depth.

(Rating 96 - 98)+. I was able to taste the 2022 Château Cheval Blanc in its individual components as well as a final blend, which is incredibly insightful when trying to understand a young barrel sample. The final blend is 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon (which is similar to the 2010), and as always, it's resting in new barrels. A deep, concentrated, structured Cheval Blanc, it has beautiful cassis, violets, flowers, and chocolate-driven aromatics. These carry to a full-bodied, concentrated, structured 2022 that stays tight, focused, and firm on the palate, with very little in the way of baby fat, yet the tannins are fine and polished. With a stacked mid-palate and a great finish, this masculine, structured, dense, powerful 2022 is going to need a decade or more of bottle age, but it should be brilliant.

(Rating 97 - 99)+. One of the stars of the vintage is the striking 2022 Cheval Blanc, a blend of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon that bursts from the glass with aromas of mulberries, cherries and wild berries mingled with mint, orange zest, pencil lead, vine smoke and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's rich and gourmand, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a long, saline, pungently perfumed finish. Harvest began on 29 August, with all the Merlot picked before the month was out, and the result is a wine that is as vibrant as it is lavish. Reviewed by William Kelley, Issue date: April 2023.

(Rating 98 - 100). The 2022 Cheval Blanc is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Deep, seamless and striking in its beauty, the 2022 possesses pedigree to burn. Readers will find a sumptuous wine, but there's plenty of tannin lurking beneath all of that intensity. In fact, the 2022 is the most tannic Cheval since 2010. The aromatics are surprisingly vibrant for a wine from a warm, dry year. The wine's energy is palpable. The 100% new oak is not all perceptible, which is another sign of top-notch balance. Time in the glass brings out a whole range of exotic Franc notes, followed by blood orange, red fruit, mind and dried herb touches. The 2022 includes 17% press wine (compared to the 11% or so that is typical), but as I have noted in my comments elsewhere in this report, the press lots were of high quality in 2022 because the winemaking was gentle. Once again, Cheval Blanc represents a pinnacle of excellence. Readers should note there is no Petit Cheval in 2022. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Tasting date: April 2023. Drinking window: 2032 - 2062.
