CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1966 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1966 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)u. 1vts, 1hs, very good general appearance for its age, slightly damp soiled labelsVintage from 22 September to 4 October. A low 21 hl/hectare was made. 12.2% alcohol. There was some new equipment in the chai this year, new concrete vats and cooling equipment to control fermentation temperatures - progress! The heat and dryness of the summer produced an intense tannic wine - real saddle leather. In 2014, it has obviously softened, but remains rich and winning, becoming even more scented in the glass.
