Description
Discover the allure of Château Cheval Blanc 2016, a magnum masterpiece from the heart of Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux, France. This 1.5-liter treasure hails from one of the world's most revered estates, where the 2016 vintage captures the essence of its storied terroir through unwavering dedication to excellence.
Crafted from a harmonious medley—roughly 60% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon—this red wine delivers poised equilibrium and profound depth. Pour it into your glass, and a deep garnet-purple color greets you, promising richness ahead.
Lift the glass to your nose, and waves of red currants, black cherries, and wild blueberries emerge, laced with violet florals. Delicate whispers of star anise, cinnamon, and cigar box weave through, building layers of intrigue that draw you closer.
On the palate, it unfolds with medium body and vibrant energy. Youthful blackberries dance alongside mineral sparks and floral echoes, framed by fine-grained tannins. The finish lingers long, elegant, and earthy, leaving a memorable impression.
Critics have showered it with praise: Wine Enthusiast awards 97 points for its dense structure, ripe tannins, and rich black fruit, foreseeing strong cellaring promise. James Suckling grants 99 points, celebrating its balance, purity, refined tannins, finesse, and incredible length. The Wine Advocate bestows a perfect 100 points, lauding its incredible depth, precision, complexity, and exceptional finish.
Serve this Bordeaux gem at around 60°F to unlock its nuances, and consider decanting for full expression. Its youthful vigor shines today, yet robust structure ensures graceful evolution through 2055, with peak moments from 2025 onward. At 14% ABV and bone-dry sweetness, the 1500 ml format suits grand gatherings or patient cellars.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or a discerning enthusiast, Château Cheval Blanc 2016 in magnum elevates any occasion. Secure this Saint-Émilion icon and savor a legacy of sophistication bottled for the ages.
