Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The nose is incredibly youthful, with wonderfully intense aromas of red currants, black cherries, wild blueberries and violets with nuances of star anise, cinnamon stick, cigar box and wood smoke. On the palate it shows a stunning elegance and depth and offers an exceptional range of mineral notes, supported of a rock-solid, grainy texture and finishes with epic persistence.

Château Cheval Blanc This 18th century château is located in the commune of Saint-Émilion on the right bank of the Gironde and has been awarded the highest distinction of “Premier Grand Cru Classé A” in all classifications to date (some even place it above this) and has the same reputation in Saint-Émilion as Château Mouton-Rothschild in the Médoc. As a novelty for the region, the red wine is made with a very high proportion of Cabernet Franc. Due to the iron-rich gravel and sandy soil on clay, this variety achieves a ripeness like nowhere else in Bordeaux. Château Cheval Blanc is best known for its special label, which depicts a leaping white stallion and has become a symbol of excellence and prestige in the wine world. The Château's Grand Vin is considered an icon. A unique, unmistakable wine that is coveted by wine lovers all over the world and is therefore hard to come by.
