Personalise your experience
The Cheval Blanc 1988, a jewel of Saint-Émilion, reveals a terroir of gravel and clay. This wine, dominated by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, enchants with its aromas of blackcurrant, truffle and cedar. The palate, silky and fresh, leaves a mineral finish. Ideal with a leg of lamb or a duck magret.
Château Cheval Blanc
Nestled at the heart of Saint-Émilion, this legendary estate combines family heritage and viticultural excellence across generations.
- Terroir: Gravel and clay soils of the Premier Grand Cru Classé A appellation, where Cabernet Franc and Merlot thrive in harmony.
- Vinification: Precise blending, patient aging and respect for tradition, yielding wines of timeless elegance.
Tasting notes for Château Cheval Blanc 1988
To the eye – A deep garnet robe with brick-red hues, dense and luminous, betraying accomplished maturity.
On the nose – First notes of candied blackcurrant and wild blackberry, then wafts of cedar, black truffle and a saline touch reminiscent of damp undergrowth.
On the palate – A silky and velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, with a long and subtly spiced finish.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
Vintage 1988
A vintage marked by climatic challenges, yet elevated by the estate's expertise into a wine of rare elegance.
- Cellaring potential: Enjoyable now, with a favorable evolution capacity for another 5 to 10 years; store in a cool and humid cellar.
