WINEMAKER NOTES
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.
