The Cheval Blanc 1992, Premier Grand Cru Classé A, reveals the gravel and blue clays of Saint-Émilion. This wine, with 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot, unveils caramel, red fruits and spices, sublimated in barrels. Its silky, mineral texture pairs beautifully with a seven-hour leg of lamb.
Château Cheval Blanc A legendary estate of Saint-Émilion, rooted in an exceptional terroir since the 19th century, where tradition and precision combine to craft wines of rare elegance. - Terroir: Silico-clayey gravel over sand and blue clay, a unique soil within the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation, imparting minerality and finesse to the grape varieties. - Vinification: Meticulous blending of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, aged in French oak barrels for an expression that is both powerful and silky.
Tasting notes for Château Cheval Blanc 1992 To the eye: A garnet red robe with brick-red hues, of a velvety texture and subtle brilliance, betraying accomplished maturity. On the nose: First notes of candied red fruits – black cherry and wild blackberry – followed by wafts of damp undergrowth, golden caramel and soft spices, all underlined by a mineral touch of graphite. On the palate: A silky, almost unctuous attack, where the tart tension of the fruit marries a chalky minerality, before a long and saline finish, carried by tannins that are well integrated yet still present. Serve between 16 and 18°C, in a Bordeaux glass to release its full aromatic complexity.
Vintage 1992 A vintage marked by early maturity and a delicate balance, where the freshness of the fruit blends with tertiary notes of great elegance. - Cellaring potential: Although this wine has reached its full maturity, it can still be kept for 5 to 10 years under optimal conditions – a cool cellar, away from light and temperature fluctuations.
