One always remembers that an astonishing 54 hl/hectare were made, that magic combination of quality and quantity. Equally noteworthy is the 12.8% alcohol! It has all the spices and leather of textbook Cheval Blanc, rich, powerful and mouth-filling - splendid with roast goose. It has years ahead of it.
