2022 Chateau Cheval Blanc 6 bottles case

The 2022 Château Cheval Blanc is a magnificent release from one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates, a Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” of Saint-Émilion and an enduring symbol of finesse and innovation. With roots dating back to the 19th century, Cheval Blanc has built its reputation on a unique mosaic of gravel, clay, and sand soils, allowing Merlot and Cabernet Franc to reach extraordinary balance. The estate has long been admired not only for its wines but also for its spirit of modernity, from its striking contemporary cellar to its visionary viticulture rooted in sustainability and precision.

The 2022 vintage reflects an exceptional growing season, yielding grapes of concentration, purity, and remarkable aromatic complexity. The blend is composed of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, each parcel vinified separately before ageing in new French oak barrels. The result is a wine that captures both the power of the vintage and the timeless elegance of Cheval Blanc.

In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet hue and an aromatic bouquet of black cherry, plum, and blueberry, lifted by floral tones of violet and iris. Secondary and tertiary layers unfold with cedar, cocoa, graphite, tobacco leaf, truffle, and crushed stone, giving depth and dimension. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied yet ethereal, with polished tannins, vibrant freshness, and a finish of extraordinary length that lingers with mineral precision.

Critics have described the 2022 Château Cheval Blanc as one of the defining wines of the vintage, praising its seamless harmony and immense ageing potential. A masterpiece of Saint-Émilion, it promises to enchant both in its youth after decanting and across the next half-century, cementing its place among the world’s most coveted wines.
