Cheval Blanc 1988
The Cheval Blanc 1988, Premier Grand Cru Classé A from Saint-Émilion, reveals a unique terroir of gravel and clay. This vintage, with notes of cedar and dried fruit, offers a fresh palate and velvety tannins. Perfect with a duck magret or a seven-hour leg of lamb.
Château Cheval Blanc
Nestled in the heart of Saint-Émilion, this legendary estate embodies the rare alliance between family tradition and viticultural excellence, shaped by an exceptional terroir.
- Terroir : Gravelly and clayey soils of Saint-Émilion, where Cabernet Franc and Merlot thrive under a temperate climate, conferring a unique minerality and elegance to the wines.
- Vinification : Fruit-respectful methods, combining technical precision and patience, for cuvées of a silky tension and a rare aromatic depth.
Tasting notes for Château Cheval Blanc 1988
To the eye – A deep garnet robe with tawny reflections, of a chalky density that heralds a matter at once generous and refined.
On the nose – First notes of cedar and blond tobacco, followed by aromas of wild blackberry and prune, before a saline touch comes to underline the complexity of the bouquet.
On the palate – A silky texture, carried by a lively acidity and a discreet minerality, stretching into a long and savory finish where soft spices and candied fruits intertwine.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full aromatic range.
Vintage 1988
A vintage marked by slow maturity, where freshness and structure allowed Cheval Blanc to develop a rare elegance, despite contrasting climatic conditions.
- Aging potential : At its peak today, this wine can still improve over 5 to 10 years under optimal storage conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity).
