Jane Anson: 94 Punkte

Lilac, peony flowers, same family of aromatics as the Petit Cheval, same feeling of finesse and precision, but here everything has been taken up a notch, more density, more slate and pumice stone texture. Expect subtle complexity, a wine that steals up on you, impresses in its precision and clarity. July and August just 20mm of rain each month, well below 30 year average, 140mm rain in September, highest since 2006, harvest September 18 to October 3, 3.62ph (3.9ph in 2022), 37 plots out of the 56 in the vineyard are in here. 100% new oak for ageing. Looking forward to seeing after ageing, it has all the elements and bones in place for a totally delicious Cheval. (04/2025)


Falstaff: 96 Punkte 

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zartes Nougat, ein Hauch von Cassis und Würze, reife Kirschen sind unterlegt, feine Edelholznuancen, facettenreich, einladendes Bukett. Straff, mittlerer Körper, reife Tannine, frisch und elegant, noch etwas verschlossen, mineralisch, gut anhaftend, dieser Wein braucht definitiv Zeit, um die Tannine zu integrierten, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial." - Peter Moser (04/2025)


Yves Beck: 96-97 Punkte 

"Das durch die Reifung gut geprägte Bouquet zeigt elegante Holznoten, Noten von schwarzer Johannisbeere, Süßholz und einladende Pfingstrosen-Düfte. Der Wein zeigt im Auftakt Breite und offenbart sich linear und beständig. Er schafft die Verbindung zwischen Temperament und Kraft mit einer offensichtlichen Hingabe zur Harmonie. Die Tannine sind noch etwas kantig, aber reif. Sie sind weder hart noch trocknend und daher bestens in der Lage, das große Reifepotenzial zu bewältigen, insbesondere angesichts seiner Säurestruktur. Ein Cheval Blanc, der auf die Realität des Jahrgangs setzt, ohne Künstlichkeit, mit dem Leitmotiv Frische und Langlebigkeit. Die Finesse wird folgen, alle Zutaten dafür sind vorhanden. Saftiger, leicht salziger und langanhaltender Abgang." (04/2025)


Vinum: 96 Punkte 

"Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot; klar und rein in der Frucht, feine florale Noten, dunkle Beeren, Cherry-Cola, schwarze Johannisbeere, Oregano; gradlinig am Gaumen, schlank, frisch, dabei kompakt, die Frucht ist knackig, die Tannine sind fein, zeigt am mittleren Gaumen nicht ganz den Druck, der der herrliche 2021er hatte, in Sachen Finesse jedoch ist auch dieser Cheval Blanc sehr gelungen."

The Drinks Business: 95-97+ Punkte 

"(Saint-Émilion; 46% Merlot; 48% Cabernet Franc; 6% Cabernet Sauvignon; a vineyard yield of 39 hl/ha, reduced to 28 hl/ha in the tanks after strict densimetric sorting; tasted at the property with Pierre Olivier Clouet). “A vintage from the 1970s vinified with 21st century techniques”, says Pierre Olivier Clouet – as ever, he’s right! Gorgeous aromatically. Lifted, plump, plush, succulent, very classical in a way – cedar, graphite, pencil-shavings, dark berry and stone fruits. Black cherry, bramble and blackberry, a little cassis and blueberry, above all with just a little aeration in the mouth. Much more ample than Petit Cheval and with a gorgeous natural sweetness. Walnut, almost frangipane and a little gentle toasted note. Very gathered on the finish. Very fresh, above all with a gently lift towards the fantail that forms the finish and releases the sapidity. Vivid but also classical and stylish in its elegance – but not a manufactured elegance. Poised, coiled and very promising." - Colin Hay (04/2025)

The 2024 Cheval Blanc was picked from September 18 until October 3 and aged entirely in new oak with a little dabbling in concrete tanks and amphorae. The purity on the nose is the first facet that you notice with perfumed black cherry, blackcurrant, wild strawberry and touches of potpourri and crushed stone. There is certainly some mineralité here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly brittle tannins. Very well balanced, this is clearly a Cheval Blanc built in a more elegant, sapid, linear style with a residual pepperiness that lingers in the mouth. It will need just 2 or 3 years in bottle and should drink well for 20 to 25 years. The 2024 is charming and refined.

A blend of 48% Cabernet Franc, 48% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Cheval Blanc is one of the stars of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with notes of minty berries and plums mingled with violets, cigar wrapper and rose petals, it's medium-bodied, suave and complete, with a cool, layered core of fruit, beautifully integrated tannins and a long, aromatic finish. Pierre-Olivier Clouet and his team conducted an aggressive green harvest and also, exceptionally, used densimetric sorting to mitigate heterogenous maturity between and within bunches (a consequence of a protracted flowering), accepting losses to rot in pursuit of full maturity. Yields were 39 hectoliters per hectare at harvest, but some 34% of that was eliminated between sorting and press wine (which is never retained at Cheval Blanc). Of what fermented, however, 70% ended up in the grand vin. - William Kelley (04/2025)
