2023 Cheval Blanc (Saint-Emilion)

GVWM Wine of the Vintage

98-100 WA / 98-99 JS / 97-99 WI / 98 JA / 96-98 VM / 96-98 JD / 97 DE

 

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. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

2023 Leoville Barton (Saint-Julien)

GVWM Over-Achiever

97 JA / 96-97 JS / 94-96 WI / 94-96 WA / 93-95 VM / 93-95+ JD

 

Step into the heart of what St Julien does best here, firm and muscular but thoroughly juicy tannins, concentrated blackberry and cassis fruits that are mature but full of finesse, with just the right amount of precision and tension. This is a wine where a single glass will not be enough, and reminds you that in 2022 the wines were exceptional but atypical for many Bordeaux lovers. Here you get an understated gloriously drinkable St Julien from long-term owners the Barton family that will go the distance. 60% new oak for ageing. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
