Since it won its first medal in 1862, Château Cheval Blanc has maintained its place as one of the world’s greatest wines.
In 1832, Château Figeac sold 15 hectares (37 acres) to M. Laussac-Fourcaud.
As a result, this became Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Notably, in the International London and Paris Exhibitions in 1862 and 1867, it won medals still prominent on its labels.
Furthermore, the family kept the château until 1998, when Bernard Arnault and Albert Frère bought it.
The late Clive Coates MW described Chateau Cheval Blanc as “the only great wine in the world made predominantly from Cabernet Franc.”
The vineyard area spans 41 hectares (100 acres), with 37 hectares (91 acres) planted with a composition of grape varieties of:
- 57% Cabernet Franc
- 40% Merlot
- and small parcels of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon
2005 Bordeaux wine – Château Cheval Blanc 2005
The 2005 Château Cheval Blanc has an exceptional balance of power, elegance, and longevity.
It features a deep garnet or ruby-red colour with a complex bouquet of raspberry, blueberry, cassis, and floral notes.
On the palate, you can expect flavours of dark chocolate, mocha, liquorice, and cedar.
It is full-bodied but light on its feet, with super-smooth tannins and a long, shimmering finish.
Arden Fine Wines recommends that you decant this wine for a few hours before serving to allow the complex aromatics to fully blossom.
It pairs exceptionally well with classic meat dishes such as roasted lamb, beef, or game, as well as rich mushroom-based dishes and aged cheeses.
Finally, the award-winning Arden Fine Wines in London offers 2005 Bordeaux wine – Château Cheval Blanc 2005.
