Château Cheval Blanc 1995 (4 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 1995 

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Excellent levels, labels slightly soiled, 1 slightly scuffed; Excellents niveaux, étiquettes légèrement sales, 1 légèrement éraflée

Vintage 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.

This beautiful cellar was assembled by an avid wine collector with a taste for the fine and eclectic, spanning First Growth Bordeaux, 1er and Grand Cru Burgundy, with a twist of Rhône and Champagne Icons. All the wines were recently removed from a temperature-controlled private cellar and purchased from reputable sources. The interests of this passionate collector are well-evidenced here, with representation across all the greatest Burgundy Domaines together with the most recent sought-after names.
