Producer Tasting Notes:
After the atypical 2003 vintage, the weather in 2004 was much more typical of the Bordeaux climate, with close-to-average temperatures and precipitation. 2004 Cheval Blanc is a classic wine that epitomises the successful marriage of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It is fresh, well-focused, and has lovely fine-grained tannin. The colour is dark, intense, and starting to show its age. The nose opens up with aeration to reveal hints of black fruit and blueberry, framed by well-integrated oak. The wine starts out quite smooth and round on the palate with rich, dense tannin. 2004 Cheval Blanc is powerful and classy, with great aromatic freshness and a bouquet that is both fruity and floral. The beautiful long aftertaste features hints of cashew. This fine wine is the successful marriage between the estate’s two main grape varieties. it is fairly representative of a vintage with normal weather conditions in Saint Emilion.
