Chateau Cheval Blanc, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2018 La Cigarrera The palate adds lemony juiciness

The palate adds lemony juiciness to sonorous notes of smoky oak that surround lively Mirabelle fruit

but for the Allées the young vines of the estate are used

Bursting with aromas and flavors

and it finishes long and toasty

Chateau Cheval Blanc, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2018 La Cigarrera The palate adds lemony juicinessLove the floral character to the aromas of dark fruit, such as blueberries and black cherries. Red and black licorice, too. The full bodied palate starts slowly and then expands with super polished, searing tannins that lead you up the palate into a place of grandeur. Lightly chewy at the end. Such great purity and presence here. 6% cabernet sauvignon in the blend with franc and merlot. 99 Pts James Suckling
