Château Cheval Blanc Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020

Château Cheval Blanc 2020: Sublime & Sculpted Premier Grand Cru Classé A

“Intense, indelible, with layer upon layer of blueberry, raspberry, pomegranate, fennel, liqourice, crayon, espresso, crushed rocks, just so much character and poise. The driest year at Cheval Blanc since 1959, with 71% of production from the 39ha estate in this wine, technical director Pierre Olivier Clouet. This continues to be bottled as Premier Grand Cru Classé A until the 2022 vintage, following its withdrawal from the ranking, which will make an interesting footnote for collectors I would imagine, but makes zero difference to the brilliance of what is in the bottle.” - Jane Anson 100

About The Winery

Château Cheval Blanc 2020 is a monumental expression from one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates, a name synonymous with grace, complexity, and longevity. As a Premier Grand Cru Classé A, Cheval Blanc sits at the pinnacle of Saint-Émilion and Right Bank winemaking. The estate's gravel and clay terroir, coupled with an almost equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, produces a wine of singular identity. The 2020 vintage, shaped by a warm and dry season with just enough rainfall at key moments, delivers a wine of profound depth, silky texture, and crystalline purity.

On the nose, the wine reveals an intricate bouquet of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, laced with rose petals, graphite, fresh herbs, and exotic spice. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, showcasing layers of dark fruit, crushed stone, tobacco, and savory minerality. Polished tannins and precise acidity lend poise and structure, carrying the wine into a remarkably long, harmonious finish that speaks of both power and elegance.

Château Cheval Blanc 2020 pairs flawlessly with luxurious fare such as truffle-infused dishes, roast pigeon, filet mignon with wild mushrooms, or aged cheeses like Époisses and aged Saint-Nectaire—enhancing the wine’s grandeur and finesse.
