Cheval Blanc is one of the great names of Bordeaux and unquestionably the most renowned château in Saint-Émilion. Its 39 hectares of vineyards are located on the border with Pomerol, yet the wine is markedly different due to the unusually high proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend. Vinification takes place in a striking and modern winery that reflects the estate’s commitment to precision and excellence. The vineyard is overseen by a highly skilled team, with technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet leading operations under the guidance of Pierre Lurton.
The 2025 Cheval Blanc is a remarkably distinctive and expressive wine. Produced from exceptionally low yields of just 15hl/ha, the wine combines extraordinary concentration with surprising freshness and precision. The bouquet unfolds gradually, revealing layers of black cherry, cassis and wild berry fruit alongside notes of blood orange, crushed stone, graphite, dried flowers and subtle spice. As it opens in the glass, hints of sage, mint, incense, cocoa and cedar emerge, adding further complexity and intrigue. On the palate, the wine is refined yet powerful, built around a dense core of vibrant fruit framed by finely sculpted tannins. The texture is polished and seamless, delivering intensity without excess weight. Cabernet Franc plays a defining role, bringing aromatic lift, structure and remarkable length to the finish. Despite its depth, the wine remains poised and energetic, supported by bright acidity and a modest alcohol level of just 12.7%.
