Château Cheval Blanc 1945 (1 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 1945 

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

u. ts, damp stained and slightly bin soiled label, slightly nicked label, torn capsule partially revealing cork

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
