Château Cheval Blanc 1996

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Excellent levels and appearance; Excellents niveaux et apparence

56% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot. In 2019, the lovely Cabernet Franc aromatics are very evident on the nose, immediately Cheval Blanc with its touch of Russian leather. Great freshness and fruit on the palate, with the stamp of class. It slipped down with infinite ease, its underlying richness perfect with grouse. Again, in magnum and with lamb this time, the structure and body indicate very satisfying longevity in the years to come. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
