Chateau Cheval Blanc 1998 Vintage Overview

1998 OVERVIEW

Perfume of blueberry, cassis, dried cherry and warm spice rises from the 1998 Chateau Cheval Blanc, followed by hints of tobacco leaf, leather and dried flowers. The palate is at once powerful and silky, packed with dense, sweet fruit and fine, chewy tannins that carry through to an extraordinarily long, spicy, gently earthy finish. A benchmark Cheval Blanc that combines depth, opulence and grace in equal measure.

About Chateau Cheval Blanc

Château Cheval Blanc is the iconic grand vin of this famed Saint-Émilion estate on the Pomerol border, a Bordeaux blend unusually dominated by Cabernet Franc alongside Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. Grown on a rare mosaic of gravel and clay that combines right- and left-bank traits, it is celebrated for its seamless balance of power and finesse, with complex aromatics, silky tannins, and exceptional longevity that have long secured its status among the world’s most coveted wines.
