This was an outstanding year, where quality went hand in hand with quantity. 1982 Cheval Blanc is rich and complete. It is one of the finest vintages in the latter half of the 20th century​.

The early part of the growing season was mild and moderately wet. April, on the other hand, was particularly dry. The hallmarks of the vintage are the hot month of July and the drought conditions from the 10th of August to the 20th of September.  A heat...

The Story

Whether by design or by pure chance, there are in the world exceptional places. Cheval Blanc is one of these. Combining a unique soil with a symbiotic mix of grape varieties, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, Cheval Blanc produces a wine, which has the rare quality of being good at any age. It is without doubt one of the most consistent wines in the world. Cheval Blanc's unique identity is due to its varied soils, early-ripening microclimate, the per...

Wine Information

The 1982 one of the great vintages of the last century.The weather was beneficial to producers throughout the growing season but what made the vintage outstanding was the exceptionally warm weather that Bordeaux enjoyed in September, with average temperatures ranging between 29-40 degrees. This produced a huge crop of wines of exceptional richness and ripeness, with some wines possessing an almost Californian- like character.

Vuosikerta 1982

The 1982 vintage in Bordeaux changed the wine world as well as changed my life. It was the first vintage I tasted from barrel as a young wine writer working for the American magazine The Wine Spectator, and I was amazed how gorgeous the quality of a young red could be from barrel.

I remember the first barrel samples I tasted during the summer of 1983 at Chateau Prieure-Lichine with the late wine author and vintner Alexis Lichine. The wines ...

The 1982 Cheval Blanc was more reserved. It was dustier and lighter than expected, as the Canon stole the show. There was great intrigue and subtlety to its aromatics. This, too, was smooth and long, and it continued to improve and flex more and more. Omar hailed Cheval as the ‘one-third wine.’ It is right next to Pomerol, its gravelly soil is reminiscent of Graves, yet it is St. Emilion, of course. Ultimately, I gave it the same score as the Canon, but the Canon was more enjoyable today (95).

This remarkable vintage ideally ripened the exceptional blend for Cheval Blanc. The blend had 60% Cabernet Franc, 34% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Malbec. This blend produced a wine with an intensive cherry-red colour and an extremely elegant and charming complex nose of chocolate, mocha, ripe blackcurrants and hints of butterscotch. The medium-bodied palate is very delicate and classy but concentrated. A chewy wine with vivid acidity and minerality, intense fruitiness supported by firm and ripe tannins. Roasted coffee and chocolate flavours dominate in the long finish. The immense concentration and the harmonious balance guarantee long ageing potential for this lovely wine.

Red and black fruit, herbs, licorice, and an intoxicating note of chocolate covered, roasted coconut. The coconut aromatic was absolutely compelling and remained the entire evening. Does the coconut aroma come from the cooperage? On the palate, dense, concentrated, plush, rich, sexy, velvety fruit bathed your senses. Very deep and complex, with multiple layers of fruit that cascades over your palate. This is pure elegance.

Dark and dense in color. A rich and expressive nose of leather, smoke and forest floor, a nice full palate entry with some exotic earthy notes swirling around a rich cassis core, mellowing out and thinning a bit in the finish, this wine started beautifully-then the thinning and slightly drying finish disappointed. I thought this might be “the one”, the wine of the night…it got to the brink but fell short. Maybe 5 years ago? Parker effusively praised this wine, giving it a 98 on release and then re-rating it 100 in a later tasting. Our bottle was very good, but not at that level. My score: 91.
