Description
Château Cheval Blanc 1945
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
u. hs, bin soiled label, capsule cut to reveal branded cork, heavily corroded capsule at top
Vintage from 10 September to 26 September. 3 hl/hectare. 12.7% alcohol. Fermentation temperatures reached 38 degrees Celsius which led to such high volatile acidity that the Château pasteurised half the crop. In spite of this, I have had some wonderful bottles of this wine. It is always tannic, but it can overcome its difficulties and be really intriguing. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
