Three magnums of Château Cheval Blanc 2017 together make for a special presentation of a classic Saint-Émilion. The château is known for its distinctive blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. These grapes contribute to the wine’s recognizable combination of fruit, floral notes, and structure.
2017 was a remarkable year in Bordeaux. In late April, the region experienced a severe spring frost, but the impact varied greatly from vineyard to vineyard. Château Cheval Blanc was among the estates that largely escaped frost damage.
This vintage showcases a refined side of Saint-Émilion, with freshness, aromatic precision, and a well-balanced structure. The blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot gives this wine its unique character. Thus, the 2017 Cheval Blanc does not tell the story of a failed harvest, but rather of a challenging year in which the vineyards’ location and the work done at the estate played a key role.
Expect a profile in which black currants, plums, and violets are complemented by graphite and subtle herbal notes. The tannins provide structure, while the crisp acidity keeps the wine lively. The final tasting experience also depends on the conditions under which the bottles were stored.
This case contains three 1.5-liter bottles. Compared to the amount of wine it holds, a magnum has less contact with oxygen through the cork than a standard bottle, allowing the wine to age more gradually under similar conditions. In addition, this size makes for a special moment at the table.
Serve at around 16–18°C in large glasses. Dishes featuring roasted meats, mushrooms, or mild spices complement the character of this wine.
