Chateau Cheval Blanc1er Grand Cru Classe A 2012
About this product
Soft, smooth and a fantastic expression of Cheval Blanc. Sweet red cherries, black currants, lavender. The palate is silky with great length, all framed with the hallmark superb balance. Wonderfully elegant, with the dominance of Merlot in the blend playing all the right cards.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Deep red/purple hue. The bouquet rose petals, black fruits, dark plums and blackberry, cassis - a parade of red fruits and spices. The alcohol and glycerol create an essency headiness on the nose and palate. Super-ripe black plums and a touch of plum eau-de-vie on the long, resonant follow-through. The tannins are soft and malleable. Very good.
