Château Cheval Blanc 1999 (6 MAG)

Château Cheval Blanc 1999

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Excellent levels and appearance, tissue wrapped; Excellents niveaux et apparence, enveloppées dans du papier de soie

Vintage from 14 September to 28 September. A very generous 50 hl/hectare made. 13% alcohol. 61% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc. Very vibrant violets nose. Superb fresh plums taste. Smooth as silk. The tannins are so ripe. Mouth-melting. Black cherries finish. Maybe the best 1999 in Bordeaux and a relative bargain to boot. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
