The wine in this vintage

2005 is one of the great Bordeaux vintages of the century: a hot, dry summer without excess and a harvest in ideal conditions produced concentrated, structured and extremely long-lived wines. Cheval Blanc 2005 is a monumental expression of it. Cabernet Franc brings violet, tobacco leaf and spice, while Merlot adds plum, blackberry and chocolate; on the palate it is dense, with imposing yet refined tannins and a deep finish. Robert Parker awarded it 100 points. It remains a young wine today, its structure still needing time: it can rest in the cellar for a long while before reaching full maturity.

The producer · Château Cheval Blanc

On the north-western edge of Saint-Émilion, just a stone's throw from Pomerol, Château Cheval Blanc has been one of Bordeaux's most celebrated names for over a century and a half. The estate took shape during the nineteenth century and for generations belonged to the Fourcaud-Laussac family, who defined its character and prestige. Since 1998 it has been owned by Bernard Arnault and the family of Baron Albert Frère, with Pierre Lurton at the helm for many years. The vineyard, just under forty hectares in a single block, lies on a mosaic of deep gravel and clay that resembles neighbouring Pomerol more than the rest of Saint-Émilion. Here Cabernet Franc plays a leading role alongside Merlot, an unusual signature on the Right Bank that yields wines of extraordinary aromatic elegance, freshness and longevity. A winery designed by Christian de Portzamparc and a commitment to agroecology reflect a contemporary vision. In 2022 the estate chose to leave the Saint-Émilion classification, secure in a reputation that needs no official rank.
