Château Cheval Blanc is a prestigious winery in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, and its Grand Vin is one of the most sought-after wines in the world. The 2020 vintage is still young, but early indications suggest that it will be a remarkable wine. The growing season in 2020 was marked by favourable weather conditions, including a warm and dry summer, which helped the grapes achieve optimal ripeness. The blend for the 2020 Grand Vin is composed of 59% Merlot and 41% Cabernet Franc, and it is expected to display a beautiful balance between power and elegance, with expressive aromas, rich fruit flavours, and a long, structured finish.
