• Falstaff bewertete (04/2026) Château Cheval Blanc 2025 wie folgt: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Intensive schwarze Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Wacholder, Kräutern und Tabak, Heidelbeeren, kandierte Mandarinenzesten, sehr facettenreiches Bukett. Stoffig, hochelegant, reife Herzkirschen, finessenreich strukturiert, nahtlose, perfekte Tannine, ein hochdelikater Wein von enormer Länge, umwerfende Mineralität, für eine lange Reifezeit ausgelegt, ein Hauch von Nougat im Nachhall, ein enormes Zukunftsversprechen." - 100 Punkte
• Parker's Wine Advocate bewertete (04/2026) Château Cheval Blanc 2025 wie folgt: "A blend of 51% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Cheval Blanc stands out once again as among the finest wines of the vintage in Bordeaux. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of blood orange and iris, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with terrific mid-palate density, sweet tannins and a long, vibrant, violet-inflected finish. With its striking aromas, intensity of flavor and resolutely classical proportions (checking in at 12.7% alcohol and pH of 3.76), the 2025 gives every indication of being one of the great Cheval Blancs of the decade" - 98-100 Punkte
• Jeff Leve bewertete (04/2026) Château Cheval Blanc 2025 wie folgt: "Purple in hue, the wine explodes with an array of flowers, smoky truffles, black plums, black cherries, blue fruits, orange rind, tobacco leaf, licorice, and chocolate in the perfume. However, the palate is the main event. The mouthfeel perfectly balances its hedonistic tendencies with a touch of reticence, in a good way. There is length, volume, intensity, opulence, and lift. The seamless finish provides silk and velvet tannins, allowing the depth and purity of the fruit to stand out in the extensive, vibrant finish. The key to the vintage was the combination of a dry summer, which lowered yields, and the much-needed August rains, which brought about full maturity. 46 of 47 parcels were placed into the blend. It is important to note that no second wine was produced. Even more importantly, very little Cheval was produced. Yields were a scant 15 hectoliters per hectare, making this the lowest yields in the history of the estate" - 98-100 Punkte
• The Drink Business bewertete (04/2026) Château Cheval Blanc 2025 wie folgt: "Cheval Blanc suffered the longest sustained period without rainfall in its history. The wine comes from the smallest ever grapes harvested here (c.1.1g per grape for the Merlot, 0.6g for the Cabernet Franc). 2kg of fruit were required for each litre of wine produced, around twice the norm. 46 of the 47 parcels were used in the grand vin after drastic measures to reduce the potential yields, above all on gravel. Despite all of that we have a wine of striking poise and staggering harmony. Black cherry, mulberry, blackberry, cassis, graphite and a touch of cedar. Peony blooms. Rose petals and rose blooms. Peppercorns freshly crushed. A wild heather note, thyme and a little rosemary. Classical, if subtle, cedar notes, with more graphite and pencil shavings on aeration. This is very dark and composed, cool – almost plungepool cool – at the core with that incredibly vivid and utterly beautiful violet florality that seems to radiate outwards from the centre of the wine. So complete, so harmonious, so elegant and so perfectly integrated. A wine of perfect harmony. The sublimation of Cheval Blanc and a reward for the investment in the vineyard. This is a wine of shimmering beauty today and of ageless potential for tomorrow. It is radiant and that radiance seems to flow from the Cabernet Franc core of the mid-palate, like the explosion of a firework of freshness captured in slow motion" - 98-100 Punkte
• vvWine und Vinum bewertete (04/2026) Château Cheval Blanc 2025 wie folgt: " Was für ein zauberhafter Duft, Floralität ohne Ende, Veilchen, Kräuter, Cassis, pfefferwürzig, mit kühlem Kamin, komplex, mit Tiefgang und viel Frische im Bouquet; am Gaumen präzis und fokussiert, baut Druck auf, bleibt mit nur 12.7% Alkohol leichtfüssig, die Tannine sind reichlich vorhanden, begleiten die knackige Frucht von A-Z, stets präsent, seidig; der Abgang ist ausgewogen und von grosser Länge. Ein klassischer, Cheval-Blanc in diesem paradoxen Jahr" - 97-99 Punkte
