CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1985 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1985 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)u. 1bn, 1vts, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 1 of which torn48.8 hl/hectare which is high for Cheval Blanc. The vintage took place from 1-17 October. Only 12.5% alcohol which seems low nowadays! Still so fresh - the Cabernet Franc gives that element, but it was also a great Merlot year. In 2013, so fruity and vibrant, with such a liquorice finish. Pure joy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 922 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
