Rated 99/100 by Bernard Burtschy « L’attaque en bouche est un mélange de fraîcheur et de vigueur avec un milieu de bouche à la fois d’une grande noblesse et d’une densité peu commune sans jamais s’élever dans la puissance. La finale est d’une grande complexité avec une persistance peu commune et d’une incomparable finesse grâce à un botrytis d’une finesse exquise. Yquem 2018 n’est pas un monstre de puissance, loin de là, mais il marquera l’histoire par sa fraicheur, sa pureté, sa très grande densité et surtout son incroyable longueur. »

Rated 98/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Ce 2018 offre un nez fin où l'on ressent une touche de vanille. un vin élégant qui élvolue vers le citron confit. Sa liqueur tapisse la bouche en montant crescendo. D'une grande amabilité, doux, posé et harmonieux. » (Nov. 2021)

    The 2020 vintage was awarded a "coup de ♥" by the Guide Hachette 2024 "a particularly expressive 2020, very floral and fruity (exotic fruit, citrus, peach, apricot, fresh almond, etc.)"

    The 2020 vintage is rated 98/100 by the Revue du Vin de France "Its sumptuous fragrance is reminiscent of tangerine. It coats the palate with a sensation of tangy candy. Suave but weightless, it is balanced by a smooth ageing process that gives it length." (December 2023).

    Le millésime 2016 est noté 98/100 par J-M QUARIN : « Couleur pâle, aux reflets verts. Nez intense, fin, subtil, noble et complexe. Entrée en bouche à la texture et au toucher immédiatement raffinés. Tout fond, aérien, nuancé et néanmoins profond. Très longue finale légèrement tannique. C'est formidable. » (Septembre 2023)

    The 2016 vintage is rated 100/100 by the Guide Hachette 2021 "The 2016 has left behind the pastry notes of its youth to focus on citron and tangerine flavours. Its power settles confidently into a pure fruit, nourished by a fleshy liqueur, which lends a masterly balance to this vintage which is also at the top."

    The 2005 vintage is rated 99/100 by J-M Quarin "Golden colour. Great intense nose, fine, subtle, noble. It is that of a great white wine. [...] With a thousand complex nuances on the mid-palate, followed by great textural precision, the wine gently fades away on the finish. Then there's a long, fresh, flowery, subtly roasted finish. An angel is passing by". (May 2023)

    Second wine of Cheval Blanc. Elegant, refined in fruit and texture, the airy balance and harmony of its 2009 make this wine obvious. As the young vines that make up Le Petit Cheval age, they are gradually being integrated into the grand vin, leading to the disappearance of the second wine by 2030.

    Neither quite Saint-Émilion nor quite Pomerol, the inimitable Cheval Blanc occupies a special place on the right bank, on the famous gravelly terroir of the Figeac plateau. Inimitable because its wines subjugate in a perfect alchemy between freshness, subtlety and hedonism, the whole on tannic frames at the same time refined and melting, between silk and cashmere.

    The 2020 vintage was awarded a "coup de ♥" by the Guide Hachette 2024 "an imposing volume, a rich and dense tannic structure but with an incomparable, crystalline finesse".

    The 2020 vintage is rated 98/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "A magnificent velvety texture envelops the palate from the outset, the heart and finish link with fullness in a whole gracefully stretched by dynamic tannins of immense delicacy." (September 2023)
