Château Cheval Blanc 2012
Bordeaux - Saint-Émilion - 1er Cru Classé - Red Wine -Château Cheval Blanc 2012 is a very beautiful wine, with surprisingly young complexity and great aromatic precision. Alliance of a unique terroir and a symbiotic grape variety, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, Château Cheval Blanc produces a wine whose rare capacity is to be good at any age. From the vineyard to the bottling, Cheval Blanc embodies the excellence and the unique know-how of one of the greatest wines in the world.
This 2012 vintage of Cheval Blanc, 1er Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion "A" is an astonishing vintage due to the complexity of the aromatic palette that it offers tasters from an early age.
The dress: the purple red color is deep with mauve reflections.
The nose: of great aromatic purity, characterized by an astonishing complexity at this stage. Red fruits mingle with black fruits, the floral register is delicate with notes of roses and violets. The freshness (fresh mint, eucalyptus), and the minerality (graphite, chalk), complete a very lively aromatic palette. The whole nose, concentrated, is characterized by a very particular aromatic radiance, of great purity where aging remains imperceptible… A sign that the vintage will be great.
Palate: a frank and powerful attack, giving way to a mid-palate where the density and firmness of the tannins are melted into unparalleled smoothness. The structure of the wine continues with the racy and elegant texture accompanied by fresh and complex aromas. The incredible length of this wine is reflected in a coated and delicate finish giving the feeling that the wine flies away and disappears imperceptibly and without the slightest sudden ... A chiseled wine that is delicious, complex and of exceptional length for a Saint-Emilion so young.
The advice of 12bouteilles: Decant the bottle at least 4 hours before tasting it. Serve chilled around 17 ° C the ideal bottle for a large festive meal.
