Chateau Cheval Blanc 2001 Chateau Cheval Blanc 2001 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A) Lot 6752 -6756: u 1bn, Lot 6757: 1vts, Lot 6765: 2bn, Lot 6766: 1bn Vintage from 24 September to 8 October. 34 hl/hectare made. 68% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc. Black cherry projected scent plus roasting coffee notes. Full frontal Merlot, but with such extraordinary freshness, a very 2001 feature and part of the success of this vintage on the Right Bank. Beautiful, clear definition. A year later, in 2008, it has a youthful nose and lovely sweetness on the palate.

The brilliant technical team at the property coaxes the maximum from this plateau just over the road from Pomerol, where gravel ridges bestow class to the wine and the high percentage of Cabernet Franc gives such scent. And the voluptuous character? That is the magic ingredient, which can be perceived throughout. Cheval Blanc is stunning drunk when it is relatively young, but it also ages in exotic multi-dimensional fashion. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
