 Tasted blind and perplexed our group and frankly most of us thought this was burgundy, like La Tâche level and this is the testament to the beauty (we would have never guessed 1973) of this wine. A magical wine for sure. Well aged, but still full of life, mature fruit but less earthy and more still with a savoury richness in the fruit. Impressive for sure and we can go for a long time here. For us the wine of the night even though we rated others higher than this still it was a magical wine.

 Initially slightly musty, becomes increasingly beautiful with air, shows depth, peat, smoke, forest floor and spices. Taut opening, surprisingly juicy and fresh in character, red-fruited, with herbal spice, malt, still shows some tannin, plus a well-integrated acidity. Finishes on liquorice. Declined somewhat more rapidly than Ausone, but should maintain its level longer due to its tannin and acid structure.

Château Cheval Blanc 1973 was a huge surprise. The nose is intense like a wine from a great vintage. In the mouth it has a subtlety beyond anything we could imagine from this year. This wine has the nobility of Cheval Blanc, and it was not in its power, though it has plenty - but in its complexity and subtlety. In a blind tasting, no one would ever cite 1973. It has a very beautiful substance, woven and full like a noble wine. And what is amazing is that the wine is quite cloudy and the colour is not very reassuring. More proof of the magic of wine.

Château Cheval Blanc

Château Cheval Blanc is one of the most emblematic estates of the Saint-Émilion appellation, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé A, it occupies a unique place in the history of the Bordeaux vineyard, both through the exceptional consistency of its quality and the singularity of its terroir and grape varieties. Located at the natural border between Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, the estate benefits from a rare mosaic of soils in Bordeaux, combining gravel, clay and sand.

The vineyard of Château Cheval Blanc extends over approximately 39 hectares, divided into numerous distinct plots, each vinified separately in order to preserve the expression of its terroir. The grape variety composition, dominated by Cabernet Franc, complemented by Merlot and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, constitutes an exception in Saint-Émilion and gives the wines a slender structure, natural freshness and remarkable ageing potential.

The estate's philosophy is based on extremely precise plot viticulture, controlled yields and winemaking conducted with exacting standards and restraint. The ageing process accompanies the wine without ever masking the purity of the fruit or the complexity of the terroir. The wines of Château Cheval Blanc are distinguished by their rare balance between intensity, finesse and aromatic depth.

Among the emblematic vintages are notably Château Cheval Blanc 1947, Château Cheval Blanc 1949, Château Cheval Blanc 1955, Château Cheval Blanc 1982, Château Cheval Blanc 1990, Château Cheval Blanc 1998, Château Cheval Blanc 1989, Château Cheval Blanc 2000, Château Cheval Blanc 2005, Château Cheval Blanc 2010, regularly acclaimed for their longevity and elegance.
