What foods and gourmet dishes should be paired with Château Cheval Blanc?
Food and wine pairings with Château Cheval Blanc deserve particular attention, given the wine's great complexity. In its early years, it will sublimate a herb-crusted saddle of lamb, a beef tenderloin in cep sauce, or a roasted pigeon with truffles. With age, its aromatic palette becomes richer and calls for more delicate pairings: truffled poultry, duck à l'orange, or aged pressed-curd cheeses such as an old Comté. The richness of the Cabernet Franc also pairs very well with spiced dishes featuring soft, floral notes.
