About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceA true treasure in the world of wine. An icon producer from the region of Saint-Emilion on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Typically a blend of Cab Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Saint Emilion was a great performer in the 2001 vintage and while is still considered a early drinking Bordeaux, the structure of this wine will keep it for numerous years yet.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

I was surprised by how soft, opulent, even voluptuous the 2001 Cheval Blanc performed out of bottle as this estate’s wines tend to shut down when young. Its deep ruby/purple color was accompanied by sweet aromas of cranberries, black currants, menthol, Asian spices, and underbrush. This seductive blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc reveals a lush sweetness, medium body, and ripe, well-integrated tannin. A racy effort filled with personality, it should be at its finest between 2007-2018.
