FUTURES 2024 pre-arrival ETA: Autumn 2027
Expert tasting note: (2024 vintage)
"Deep, dark, not quite opaque purple-red color. Lifted dark-fruit aromas have a chocolatey nature. The palate is super-focused, with a precise & refined yet wonderfully smooth structure. Dark plum & cassis fruit is overlaid by chocolate & graphite notes. The wine is refined, elegant - perhaps even a touch haughty & probably a bit of a sleeper. Balanced alcohol adds some warmth to the mid-palate. Good acidity ensures a long finish of pure cassis & black-cherries." - 04/25 ep DCAMW

"The 2024 Cheval Blanc is a blend taken from 37 of the 45 parcels on the property. Dried flowers, mocha, rose petal and blood orange open nicely in the bouquet, leading to an understated mid-palate and a subtly persistent finish. Understated and nuanced, the 2024 offers lovely forward fruit in a soft, accessible style with no hard edges or awkward contours. All the elements are nicely put together, and yet there is no denying the fact that the 2024 is very light. Élevage will be everything here."
