Details
Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1949
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A). Château-bottled
Impeccable appearance
A remarkable cache of a great wine, the property of a noted family. The wines already in fine condition when sent to the Château. During the recorking process, each bottle was carefully checked and only those found to be in good condition recorked. A small number of bottles were sacrificed to enable any topping up necessary to be done with the same wine.
Tasting note: very richly coloured, a glorious tuillé or Provencal tile red, beautifully graduated; sweet, scented cedar and warm brick bouquet, truffles noted. Taste to match. Distinctly sweet, soft, harmonious. A great '49 (M.B. GVWB II)
1 dozen bottles per dozen
