Ranking notes: Robert Parker 100/100, James Suckling 100/100, Jancis Robinson 20/20

"The 2010 is one of the most impressive two-year-old Cheval Blancs I have tasted in 34 years in this profession. The final blend of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot has the tell-tale berry/floral nose with subtle hints of menthol, blueberry, raspberry and flowers in addition to some forest floor and a delicate touch of lead pencil shavings. The wine exhibits more structure and density than it did from barrel, and it was already remarkable then. The foresty/floral notes seem to linger and linger in this surprisingly full-bodied, powerful Cheval Blanc, yet it possesses a very healthy pH that should ensure enormous longevity. Dense purple in color, and a bigger, richer wine than usual, this is one Cheval Blanc that will probably need a decade of cellaring. I like the description from the estate’s administrator, Pierre Lurton, who said it tasted like "liquid cashmere", a perfect expression, despite the wine’s structure and intensity. This is another 50-year wine from this amazingly structured, rich vintage."

The producer

Château Cheval Blanc

Château Cheval Blanc has belonged to Albert Frère and Bernard Arnault since 1998. This world-famous estate is managed by Pierre Lurton, a well-known figure in Bordeaux. Cheval Blanc's 39 hectares of vines are located in Saint-Emilion, on the border with Pomerol. The breakdown of grape varieties is quite original for the appellation: 49% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged in new oak barrels.
