Château Cheval Blanc 2000 (12 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 2000

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Good levels and general appearance, in original tissues, 4 tissues slightly wine stained

Harvest from 14 September to 28 September and a generous 42hl/hectare produced. They recorded 14.9% in the Merlot from clay this year. 50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot. In 2021, this has great freshness and charm on the nose, surprisingly young - although this is a feature of the best 2000s. On the palate, plummy fruitiness and finesse of texture make it so drinkable now, while waiting for the cherries and leather to develop further. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

以9月14日至28日收成的果實製作，每公頃只可出產4200公升的珍品。該年的黏土中有14.9%梅樂。50%卡本納弗朗，50%梅樂。2021年，酒香清新迷人，仿似新釀--這是2000年代的頂級酒品之特色。口感方面帶李子香，質感細膩，可馬上享用，亦可多等幾年，讓櫻桃和皮革的味道陳年後有所發展。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
