CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1995 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1995 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)Levels bn or into the neckVintage from 15 September to 28 September. In the previous 50 years at Cheval Blanc, only the 1990 and the 1989 were harvested earlier which shows how things have changed more recently. 44 hl/hectare made - a generous vintage. 12.8% alcohol. 53% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot. Due to circumstances beyond his control (Mother Nature!), Pierre Lurton's first great vintage. In 2011, a real smoky nose of great intensity. This even has a meaty note. Great, thick texture, with a touch of iron. Dense, black fruit wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9212 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
