Description
The average temperature remained above 15°C, an uncommon situation, which is the result of several heatwaves when the mercury rose above 40°C. To combat this heat, the team reintroduced trees in the plots to create better air movement for the vines while also helping the biodiversity of the parcels and stimulating the soils. Between the rows of vines, a garden grows with mustard (earthworms love it), leguminous (flax and clover), and brassica plants (radish) as well as cereals (rye).
Wine Advocate : “One of the most profound wines of the vintage is the 2023 Cheval Blanc, a striking wine that stands out for its strong sense of identity and seamless integration at such an early stage in its life. Wafting from the glass with notes of mulberries, lilac, dark fruits, iris root and violets, it’s medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with a gourmand core of cool, vibrant fruit that entirely conceals its sweet structuring tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. It’s a blend of 52% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, drawing on fully 46 of the blocks that make up Cheval Blanc, and it attained 13.8% alcohol.”
