VINTAGE 2015 

Monday 2nd November 2015

Vinifications are literally coming to an end: with the running off of the last plot, the tanks now contain wine.

Malolactic fermentations run their course, the wines are fatter and softer.

While watching over each tank, our winery team is dedicated to the reception of new barrels that will host this vintage. They are to test and analyze them one by one, to ensure the absence of any pollut...

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 2015 Cheval Blanc represents the entire vineyard this year, since there is no Le Petit Cheval (two plots that did not meet requirements were not included in any blend). A blend of 45% Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon and 55% Merlot, matured in 100% new oak, it has a very complex bouquet, subtle and tightly wound, very precise with dark berry fruit, hints of graphite, minerals and a hint of bla...

Vuosikerta 2015

Full report of Bordeaux 2015 by Andrew Caillard MW “Next in line in a great series of vintages; 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2015.

 

2015 is a wonderful Bordeaux vintage without the hype or hysteria associated with 2009 and 2010. The wines are generally expressive and generous with wonderful concentration and structure. Given another year in barrel, the wines should gain more complexity and fruit volume. Châteaux, in all sub-regions, are e...

Phenomenal aromas of cherries, flowers, blackberries and sandalwood. Pure fruit. Full-bodied, dense and polished with incredible tannin quality like the finest, densest silk ball. In perfect proportions. Compact. Seamless and endless. Gorgeous to taste now but give it six or seven years to understand it better.

For the first time in many years this property hasn't produced second wine Le Petit Cheval in 2015. While visiting Cheval Blanc during harvest in September 2015, I was allowed to taste many samples taken out from vats/barrels before fermentation and during fermentation, especially Cabernet Franc ones. Cheval Blanc's technical directeur, Pierre Olivier Clouet, said to me already then, that the potential of different cuvées (parcels) was amazing. So it didn't really surprised me that they skipped second wine in 2015. Cheval Blanc showed pure elegance and finesse, great richness and depth, sophisticated touch and velvety texture. Great concentration and length. Incredibly stylish and classy wine, which imho will improve from further ageing in barrels. 97+p.

Vibrant berries with concentration. Hint of pencil sharpen and gamey. Rich and intnese wine. Some wool can also be detected from nose. Very good tannin and texture and yet very silky. Beautiful dark fruit long finish. 97-99

Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black core. Well concentrated nose with typical Cabernet-Franc character, raspberries and hints of violets, blackcurrants in the background as well as hints of dark cherries. Excellent palate with great length, freshness and minerality, fine fruit, complex flavour. A wine with depth, Cheval-Blanc back at its own style and great character.

Medium deep colour. Fresh dark cherry, her garden, praline espresso aromas. Silky textures wine with dark cherry, raspberry fruit, supple sweet fruit flavours, inky textures. Finishes chocolaty firm and chalky. Very minerally and elegant. Graphite. Really lovely tannin structure. Lacy plume. A dense expressive wine with power and longevity. 97 points

Cheval Blanc Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe A - 55% Merlot 45% Cabernet Franc The nose is fresh fruit, red fruit, horse hair, spice, ample texture and mid-palate, good freshness, lovely mouthfeel, round, very supple like the 1998, but I don’t think it quite has the concentration of the finest vintages a very elegant wine though. 94-97/100 2030-2050
