TASTING NOTES:
Smooth and complex

Appearance

An intense crimson.

Aroma

Fruity and floral, the bouquet reveals notes of fig, blackberry and red fruits, as well as hints of violet – a signature of exceptional vintages.

Taste

Powerful and concentrated, with great balance, the 2009 reveals strong black-fruit flavours. The presence of cabernet franc imparts an inimitable freshness and elegance – and a tannic backbone.

Estate Director, Château Cheval Blanc

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Château Cheval Blanc 2009

This vintage, 55.9% merlot, 42.5% cabernet franc and 1.6% cabernet sauvignon, benefited from an ideal growing season, with flowering and colouring occurring evenly.
 

An uninterrupted, extended ripening period amid consistently warm and clement weather ensured the grapes were juicy and fresh as they arrived in the cellar.
 

The wine was aged 16-17 months in 100% new oak.
