TASTING NOTES:
POWERFUL AND COMPLEX

Appearance

A deep red.

Aroma

Rich aromas of spice and fresh raspberries, strawberries and blackberries open up to reveal roasted overtones and hints of vanilla, bay leaf and leather.

Taste

This wine begins with fresh flavours that soon give way to more powerful and tighter sensations. The finish is long and intense, with silky tannins melting in the mouth.

Pierre Lurton

Estate Director, Château Cheval Blanc

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Château Cheval Blanc 2000

This vintage – 53% merlot and 47% cabernet franc – benefited from warm, dry weather leading up to the harvest.

The winter in 2000 was wet and mild, and the spring temperate but rainy. A dry and warm June was followed by a wet July, after which a long dry spell set in.

Rigorous grape selection, expert blending and ageing in 100% new oak resulted in this outstanding wine.

FOOD PAIRING CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC

FOOD PAIRING:
CLASSIC FRENCH DISHES ARE THE PERFECT CHOICE

A creamy cheese soufflé will enhance the silkiness of this wine.

Game, and both red and white meat are natural matches with this sublime Saint-Emilion. For this intense red, try grilled steak with sautéed mushrooms, or beef Rossini with eggplant caviar.

Desserts featuring apple or pear, or a dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) are sure to delight.
