Parker about Château Cheval Blanc 2024
A blend of 48% Cabernet Franc, 48% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Cheval Blanc is one of the stars of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with notes of minty berries and plums mingled with violets, cigar wrappers and rose petals, it's medium-bodied, suave and complete, with a cool, layered core of fruit, beautifully integrated tannins and a long, aromatic finish. Pierre-Olivier Clouet and his team conducted an aggressive green harvest and also, exceptionally, used densimetric sorting to mitigate heterogeneous maturity between and within bunches (a consequence of a protracted flowering), accepting losses to rot in pursuit of full maturity. Yields were 39 hectoliters per hectare at harvest, but some 34% of that was eliminated between sorting and pressing wine (which is never retained at Cheval Blanc). Of what was fermented, however, 70% ended up in the grand vin.
Suckling over Château Cheval Blanc 2024
Extremely perfumed, showing red roses and violets as well as hints of flower stems. A touch of sandalwood. This turns to blue fruits with such pure grape character, like smelling must. Savory, light brine and black olives. The palate is tight and refined before taking off at the end. The perfectly integrated tannins melt into the wine, giving it fascinating tension and intensity. 53% merlot, 46% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon.

Château Cheval Blanc 2024
Château Cheval Blanc 2024 is an outstanding Saint-Émilion that once again impresses with its power, elegance, and multifaceted complexity in this vintage. The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a small portion of Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep crimson color and unfolds a complex bouquet of black currants, ripe plums, violets, and fresh herbs, complemented by delicate notes of cedarwood, dark cocoa, and graphite.
On the palate, the 2024 vintage presents a silky, almost weightless texture, supported by precise, ripe tannins and a fresh, invigorating acidity. The mineral character of the unique terroir lends the wine additional depth and excitement. The finish is long, elegant, and characterized by dark berries, spices, and a subtle spiciness.
Château Cheval Blanc 2024 is a wine of great balance and expressiveness – accessible early on, yet with remarkable aging potential for many decades.
