The 2022 Château Cheval Blanc is in a league of its own. No Petit Cheval was produced, with 100% of the estate’s harvest committed to the Grand Vin, and 46 of the 47 parcels that make up the estate used in the final blend, the highest proportion ever. The wine is 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, raised entirely in new oak. Jeb Dunnuck awarded 100, describing a riveting Cheval Blanc with fabulous aromatics of blackcurrants, spice, flowers, spicy wood, and white truffle, full-bodied with an effortless mouthfeel, flawlessly balanced, and a wine he called among the greatest he had ever encountered at this address. Farr Vintners awarded 100, as did The Wine Independent. Wine Spectator awarded 99, calling it a marvelous expression of a distinctive vintage. James Suckling 99, James Lawther 99, Jane Anson 99, Wine Enthusiast 98, Decanter 98, and Rupert Valentini 98. Wine Advocate gave it 98, describing it as bursting from the glass with aromas of minty mulberries, licorice, and rose petals. Vinous 97. One independent observer called it “perhaps the greatest Cheval Blanc ever produced.” Three perfect scores. Nine critics in the high 90s. The price here is exceptional for a wine of this historical significance. These are very limited. This is the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67660711133481,"sku":"1008514","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/ChateauChevalBlancSaint-EmilionGrandCruClasse2022_1008514_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1794588980","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/chateau-cheval-blanc-saint-emilion-grand-cru-classe-2022","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
