Description
// 53% Merlot & 47% Cabernet Franc
"2010 is an outstanding vintage. It was among the driest on record, and cool evenings in September made it possible to pick grapes at optimum ripeness. The resulting wine combines concentration and finesse, and is perfectly balanced. When it reaches its peak, will it be even better than the illustrious 1947 Cheval Blanc? A magnificent second wine, structured and well-balanced. Ruby colour, intense and deep - Well-balanced first nose, ripe red fruits aromas. With aeration, a hint of dark chocolate appears. - Powerful, ample and velvety attack, with spherical tannins, coated in the middle of the mouth." - Notes from Chateau Cheval Blanc
"The second wine of Cheval shows such glorious yet subtle fruit with chocolate, dark berries such as blackberries, and a light spice character. A walnut undertone. It's soft and silky with wonderful balance and beauty. It goes on for minutes." - 95 Points, James Suckling
