CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1995 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1995 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)Lot 1861: Levels bn or into the neck, slightly scuffed labels, scuffed and nicked capsules, damaged case lid, pen-marked case, Lot 1862: Levels bn or into the neck, scuffed and slightly bin-soiled labels, scuffed and nicked capsulesVintage from 15 September to 28 September. In the previous 50 years at Cheval Blanc, only the 1990 and the 1989 were harvested earlier which shows how things have changed more recently. 44 hl/hectare made - a generous vintage. 12.8% alcohol. 53% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot. Due to circumstances beyond his control (Mother Nature!), Pierre Lurton's first great vintage. In 2011, a real smoky nose of great intensity. This even has a meaty note. Great, thick texture, with a touch of iron. Dense, black fruit wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 92 1861:12 bts (owc) 1862:12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
