Château Cheval Blanc is one of Bordeaux's most iconic wines, celebrated for its elegance, precision, and longevity. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet, graphite, cedar, and fine spice lead to a silky, layered palate with remarkable freshness, refined tannins, and an exceptionally long finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle dishes, or aged hard cheeses for an unforgettable dining experience.
97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
An underrated vintage, the 2011 Château Cheval Blanc is evolving brilliantly. Wafting from the glass with aromas of smoky cassis, blackberries, loamy soil, tobacco leaf, bitter chocolate, mint and violets, it's full-bodied, velvety and multidimensional, with a layered core of fruit, rich and powdery structuring tannin and a long, resonant finish. While the 2009 and 2010 are more powerful and unctuous, readers who prize Cheval Blanc for its extraordinary complexity and unique perfume might well prefer the 2011, as it is a wine that could come from nowhere else.
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This is an opulent, dense wine, very perfumed while also structured. It is complex, full of rich fruit that pours through the wood and dark tannin. It just hints at a more exuberant future, flavored with the ripest fruits while still keeping freshness. Drink from 2020.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
Offers a loamy, dense feel, with the vintage's briary grip tumbled with dark plum, blackberry and black currant fruit. Anise and tobacco notes fill out the finish, which expands steadily with air, showing added range and echoes of bittersweet cocoa and tobacco. Seems to have a lot in reserve. Best from 2016 through 2030. 7,915 cases made.
92 Points - James Suckling
Deep and rich with a lovely balance of ripe black berries, bitter chocolate and smoke. A ripe and generous style, the fine tannins already nicely softened. Long, supple and gentle finish that’s very appealing, but slightly simple. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.
