Chateau Cheval Blanc 2025

Cheval Blanc 2025 består af 51 procent Merlot, 45 procent Cabernet Franc og fire procent Cabernet Sauvignon. Alkoholindholdet er på lave 12,7 volumenprocent, og pH-værdien er 3,76. Der blev kun høstet 15 hektoliter pr. hektar her i 2025 på grund af den ekstreme tørke og varme, før regnen satte ind i august. Der blev høstet grønt to gange, endda igen i august, for at bevare de resterende druer og give dem mere energi. Modning: 90 procent i nye barriques og ti procent i forskellige beholdere, herunder amforaer. Tæt næse af sorte kirsebær - meget intens, energisk og levende! Meget elegant med rige tanniner, violer og lakrids. Total koncentration, men meget velvævet og med masser af spænding! I munden et rigtigt spark af friskhed fra sorte kirsebær, plus røde og solbær. Men kirsebær er helt klart den dominerende smag. På en eller anden måde et koncentrat af en Musigny fra Meo Camuzet. Så kommer der fyldig mørk chokolade og praliné, også lidt passionsfrugt og gul frugt. Igen denne energi fra næsen, med god længde. Meget levende og energisk og fuld af spænding. Der er ekstremt lidt mængde, så fordelingen vil være et meget alvorligt problem. *** Château Cheval Blancs specialitet er dens beliggenhed, dens terroir. Som det også er tilfældet med vores nabo Jean Faure. Vi har en undergrund, der udelukkende består af ler. Ovenpå dette er der en meget høj andel af grus/sand. Men 60 % er ler, 40 % er grus og sand. Gruset og sandet er det, der gør det så fint. Leret holder på vandet. Det er også specielt, at der er defineret i alt 41 parceller, som alle vinificeres separat. Under gæring og malo smages alle de enkelte parceller hver dag af teamet for at sortere eller kombinere dele. Den endelige blanding besluttes derfor trin for trin i denne periode. Målet er at producere den bedste Cheval Blanc. Og Petit Cheval er derfor i virkeligheden en andenvin, dvs. frasorteringen fra førstevinen. Men alt, hvad der ikke er topkvalitet, sælges som fadvin. 75 procent af produktionen udgøres af førstevinen, 10 procent af andenvinen og fem procent sælges som bulkvin. Men i 2025 var der ingen andenvin.

Parker om: Chateau Cheval Blanc

A blend of 51% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Cheval Blanc stands out once again as among the finest wines of the vintage in Bordeaux. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of blood orange and iris, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with terrific mid-palate density, sweet tannins and a long, vibrant, violet-inflected finish. With its striking aromas, intensity of flavor and resolutely classical proportions (checking in at 12.7% alcohol and pH of 3.76), the 2025 gives every indication of being one of the great Cheval Blancs of the decade.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Cheval Blanc

Purple in hue, the wine explodes with an array of flowers, smoky truffles, black plums, black cherries, blue fruits, orange rind, tobacco leaf, licorice, and chocolate in the perfume. However, the palate is the main event. The mouthfeel perfectly balances its hedonistic tendencies with a touch of reticence, in a good way. There is length, volume, intensity, opulence, and lift. The seamless finish provides silk and velvet tannins, allowing the depth and purity of the fruit to stand out in the extensive, vibrant finish. The key to the vintage was the combination of a dry summer, which lowered yields, and the much-needed August rains, which brought about full maturity. 46 of 47 parcels were placed into the blend. It is important to note that no second wine was produced. Even more importantly, very little Cheval was produced. Yields were a scant 15 hectoliters per hectare, making this the lowest yields in the history of the estate. The wine is made from 51% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. 12.7% ABV, 3.6 pH. The harvest began September 18 for the Merlot, finishing their Cabernet Franc on October 3. Drink from 2030-2070.

Colin Hay om: Chateau Cheval Blanc

(Saint-Émilion; 51% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon; a final yield of 15 hl/ha; pH 3.76; 12.7% ABV; tasted with Pierre-Olivier Clouet at Cheval Blanc). Cheval Blanc suffered the longest sustained period without rainfall in its history. The wine comes from the smallest ever grapes harvested here (c.1.1g per grape for the Merlot, 0.6g for the Cabernet Franc). 2kg of fruit were required for each litre of wine produced, around twice the norm. 46 of the 47 parcels were used in the grand vin after drastic measures to reduce the potential yields, above all on gravel. Despite all of that we have a wine of striking poise and staggering harmony. Black cherry, mulberry, blackberry, cassis, graphite and a touch of cedar. Peony blooms. Rose petals and rose blooms. Peppercorns freshly crushed. A wild heather note, thyme and a little rosemary. Classical, if subtle, cedar notes, with more graphite and pencil shavings on aeration. This is very dark and composed, cool – almost plungepool cool – at the core with that incredibly vivid and utterly beautiful violet florality that seems to radiate outwards from the centre of the wine. So complete, so harmonious, so elegant and so perfectly integrated. A wine of perfect harmony. The sublimation of Cheval Blanc and a reward for the investment in the vineyard. This is a wine of shimmering beauty today and of ageless potential for tomorrow. It is radiant and that radiance seems to flow from the Cabernet Franc core of the mid-palate, like the explosion of a firework of freshness captured in slow motion.
