Description

"I don't know if it's the best Cheval Blanc ever, but I know it is one of the most Cheval Blanc ever," Pierre-Olivier says of the chateau's latest release.But how does it compare with 2018? "At the end, '18 is more round, voluminous, sweet, silky, ripe, intense," Pierre Olivier says. The 2019, he says, "is for sure a high-level, quality vintage and is meant to be a little more academic with a certain power." It also has "a huge density, but more importantly than just the density, a huge depth. The wine has plenty of layers, the length is huge, and the way the wine evolves on the nose is typical of the DNA of Cheval Blanc."
