Cheval Blanc (Vandermeulen Bottling) 1947

HED61792 75cl 12.5%
Château Cheval Blanc is regarded by many as the greatest wine of the Saint-Émilion appellation and it is certainly the most famous Cabernet Franc-based wine in the world. Considered by many critics as an iconic vintage, the 1947 Cheval Blanc displays a thick consistency and intense nose of fruitcake, chocolate, leather, coffee, and Asian spices. The oily texture and richness of sweet fruit are still remarkable after nearly 75 years since its production. A living legend, no less.

Chateau Cheval Blanc

With a history dating back as least as far as the 16th century, Château Cheval Blanc is considered by many to be one of the finest estates in Bordeaux. Located on the Right Bank in the celebrated Saint-Émilion appellation. One of only four wines to be ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the classification of Saint-Émilion wine, the estate has three main soil types: clay, gravel and sand. Red grape plantings are made up of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot and are used to produce wines with marvellous aromatics, with floral and smoky nuances, aged 100% in new oak.

In addition to the highly-coveted first wine, the estate produces a second red wine, Le Petit Cheval which made its first appearance in the 1988 vintage. A white wine, known as Le Petit Cheval Blanc, is also made, produced from predominantly Sauvignon Blanc together with a smaller percentage of Sémillon.
