2017 Château Cheval Blanc Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A
Château Cheval Blanc is one of the most fabled estates in Bordeaux, sitting on the boundary between Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Its singular blend, dominated by Cabernet Franc alongside Merlot, produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. 2017 in Saint-Émilion was a more delicate, elegant vintage, and Cheval Blanc has captured that finesse beautifully.

Terroir: 39 hectares on the unique gravel-and-clay mosaic that straddles Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.
Vinification & ageing: Plot-by-plot vinification, malolactic in barrel, aged around 18 months in French oak barrels (a high proportion new).
