Smooth, but with an impressive concentration, the 2009 vintage from Chteau Cheval Blanc is full-bodied, rich and warm. Given its intrinsic freshness, it is enjoyable now and will blossom over time.Winemakers allowed nature to take its course with this Bordeaux blend of cabernet franc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. From the moment the grapes entered the cellar, an excellent vintage was assured.
