Château Cheval Blanc St Emilion Bordeaux, 1976

Product Details

Product Description

Prior to the 2022 vintage, this wine was classed as Premier Grand Cru Classe A. Producer tasting notes: "The promising potential of the 1976 growing season was diminished by less favourable weather during the harvest. 1976 Cheval Blanc has a beautiful dark red colour with orange highlights and a brick-red rim. The nose is powerful, but shows great finesse. It opens up to reveal a smooth, delicate bouquet of plum and violet, followed by tertiary aromas of fur and cedar. The wine develops elegantly on the palate and it seems as though it was bidding for time to realise its full potential. The taste of ripe fruit, and especially prune, melts in the mouth with a silky texture. 1976 Cheval Blanc is delicious, with totally unaggressive tannin, and has stayed amazingly young. The aftertaste is fresh, elegant, and very long. The wine has matured rather quickly. It is beautifully smooth and clearly has benefited from Cheval Blanc’s outstanding terroir. There is no point in waiting any longer to drink it. 15th April 2010." - <i>Chateau Cheval Blanc</i>
