Château Cheval Blanc 1964 (5 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 1964

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

u. 3vts, 1ts, 1t/hs, heavily bin-soiled labels, heavily corroded capsules and torn capsules

Vintage from 22 September to 9 October. 37 hl/hectare made. 12% alcohol. Entirely made in wooden vats so great attention had to be paid, in very hot weather, to avoid soaring fermentation temperatures and the possibility of volatile acidity. Emile Peynaud was called in to advise, the start of a long relationship with Cheval Blanc and the result is a stupendous wine. The malolactic fermentations were done entirely in barrel and they only worked with new wood. Hugely rich. Stunning. So sweet and so multi- dimensional. Joyously sweet at the end. Perfect breed and delicacy. What a heavenly wine and simply tremendous at 43 years old. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 96

於9 月22 日至10 月9 日採收的作品，產量為每公頃3,700 升，酒精濃度為12%。此酒全部在大木桶內發酵，以免酷熱的天氣提升發酵溫度，並帶來酸性。當年白馬堡請來Emile Peynaud提供意見，從而開啟了兩者長期合作的大門，並孕育了這款佳釀的誕生。發酵過程都在木桶內進行，因只有使用新的木桶才能獲得預期的果效。濃郁無比，令人讚嘆。多麼的香甜，多麼的複雜多姿。回甘甜不可擋。此酒只應天上有，43 歲仍不減其英姿。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
