2020 Chateau Cheval Blanc – Precision and Elegance from Saint-Emilion
The 2020 Chateau Cheval Blanc represents a compelling expression of this iconic Saint-Emilion estate. Known for its distinctive blend and gravel-rich terroir, Cheval Blanc consistently produces wines that unite aromatic complexity with structural finesse. The 2020 vintage captures both the warmth of the season and the estate’s hallmark refinement.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals layered aromas of black cherry, violet, graphite, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is supple yet structured, offering dark fruit supported by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of crushed stone and cocoa unfold gradually, leading to a long, poised finish marked by balance and clarity.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The blend places strong emphasis on Cabernet Franc, complemented by Merlot grown on a mosaic of gravel and clay soils. Parcel-by-parcel fermentation allows precise extraction, followed by aging in French oak barrels to integrate texture and depth. The 2020 growing season delivered ripe, concentrated fruit while preserving freshness and aromatic lift.
Investment & Collectibility
Chateau Cheval Blanc remains one of the most collected wines on the Right Bank. The 2020 vintage has earned significant critical acclaim and demonstrates the balance and longevity that support its standing in global fine wine portfolios.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2020 Bordeaux vintage is recognized for producing wines of structure and harmony. At Cheval Blanc, these conditions resulted in a wine defined by precision, depth, and long-term aging potential.

Packaging & Temperature-Sensitive Shipping
To protect wine quality, all orders are packed in EPS foam shippers, with gel packs when necessary.
Wine is temperature-sensitive and may be affected by excessive heat, freezing temperatures, or significant temperature fluctuations during transit. During periods of elevated temperature risk, we strongly recommend selecting Next Day Air service whenever available.
Customers requesting shipment during warm or cold weather conditions must review and agree to our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy. By requesting shipment, customers acknowledge and accept the risks associated with temperature exposure, carrier delays, failed delivery attempts, and other transit-related conditions outside of Angry Wine Merchant's control.
For OWC (Original Wooden Case) orders, bottles are removed and shipped in foam for safety. The wooden case ships separately via Ground unless otherwise requested.
Weather Holds & Free Storage
In periods of extreme heat or cold, we reserve the right to delay shipment until safer conditions return. Customers may also request that we hold an order for future shipment.
We offer complimentary temperature-controlled storage for up to 6 months from the date of purchase. Select the "Hold for Weather" option at checkout and we will coordinate shipping at a later date.
Insurance
We provide free shipping insurance for loss or visible damage during transit, subject to carrier terms and conditions.
Shipping insurance does not cover deterioration in wine condition resulting from heat exposure, freezing temperatures, temperature fluctuations, carrier delays, missed delivery attempts, carrier holds, or other temperature-related transit conditions. Please review our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy for more information.
Adult Signature Required
All shipments of alcohol require an adult signature (21+) upon delivery. Carriers will not release packages without adult authorization.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that an eligible adult is available to receive the shipment on the first delivery attempt. Additional charges may apply for re-delivery, redirection, failed delivery attempts, returned shipments, or reshipment.
