Tasted by Neal Martin on June 30, 2017: "Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Cheval Blanc has a refined bouquet with scents of red berry fruit, leather, iron filing and orange rind, perhaps a little more advanced than some of its Saint Emilion peers, but still attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin on the entry. This is a "stocky" Cheval Blanc, with the Cabernet Franc component really forming the backbone to this wine, imparting bell pepper and spice box notes towards the grippy finish. I think it might have peaked a couple of years ago, so drink now and over the next 15 years. Tasted February 2017."

TERROIR

Located in the commune of Saint-Emilion, but bordering the territory of Pomerol, the estate covers 39 hectares divided into forty-five parcels that are all small vineyards with their own unique identity, made up of a particular soil, grape variety and planting age, this specificity shapes the complexity of Cheval Blanc wine. Three main types of soil coexist: fine, coarse, clay and gravel. To this natural mosaic is added an original grape variety, made up of 58% Cabernet Franc and 42% Merlot.

FOOD AND WINE PAIRING

 Château Cheval Blanc is best served with food, and can be paired with an entire meal, from starter to dessert. However, French gastronomy varies with the seasons, as does our Cheval Blanc. It is therefore difficult to give suggestions at the risk of being disappointed during the tasting.

On the other hand, Cheval Blanc goes remarkably well with a fish dish (monkfish, cod, turbot, St. Pierre, etc.), especially if there is an element in the dish that links it to the land (mushrooms, for example). For more detailed advice on food and wine pairing, we suggest you contact a sommelier.
