By Robert M. Parker, Jr. in 1998: "A pretty and attractive Cheval Blanc, the 1995 contains a higher percentage of Merlot in the final blend than usual (50% Merlot / 50% Cabernet Franc). This wine has not developed as much fat or weight as its younger sibling, the 1996, but it appears to be an exceptional Cheval Blanc with a captivating bouquet of smoke, cassis, coffee, and exoticism. The complex, rich, medium to full-bodied flavors are well-endowed and pure, with surprisingly firm tannins on the finish. Unlike the sweeter, riper 1996, the 1995 may be more structured and potentially more durable. 

FOOD AND WINE PAIRING

 Château Cheval Blanc is best served with food, and can be paired with an entire meal, from starter to dessert. However, French gastronomy varies with the seasons, as does our Cheval Blanc. It is therefore difficult to give suggestions at the risk of being disappointed during the tasting.

On the other hand, Cheval Blanc goes remarkably well with a fish dish (monkfish, cod, turbot, St. Pierre, etc.), especially if there is an element in the dish that links it to the land (mushrooms, for example). For more detailed advice on food and wine pairing, we suggest you contact a sommelier.
