| Description: | Situated on the Pomerol border, the esteemed Cheval Blanc estate in Saint Emilion produces wines of opulent richness, with lush tannins and incredible fragrance. The vineyard is planted to 58% Cabernet Franc and 42% Merlot, with very old vines averaging 50+ years, and Cheval Blanc is considered to be, "Undoubtedly one of Bordeaux's most profound wines." Robert Parker. 2006 was a warm and dry year which is particularly favorable to Merlot. 2006 Cheval Blanc is a rich, powerful wine with ripe fruit aromas. This Merlot variety accounts for typical ripe red fruit aromas that marry well with the aromatic finesse of ripe Cabernet Franc. 2006 Cheval Blanc has a powerful, attractive nose of ripe red fruit and Virginia tobacco, reflecting the benefits of barrel ageing. The wine starts out full-bodied and rich, combining the smoothness of Merlot and the aromatic elegance of Cabernet Franc. Complementing its impressive fruitiness, the rich tannin and balance go into a wonderful long aftertaste. |
