Only 1 in stock
Cheval Blanc needs little introduction—this Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A estate is legendary. Situated on the Pomerol border, its 39 hectares of gravel, sand and clay soils are uniquely suited to a high proportion of Cabernet Franc (usually around 52%) blended with Merlot. The terroir’s complexity gives Cheval Blanc its unmistakable elegance and age-worthiness.
The 1999 vintage was cooler and less showy than neighbouring years, but in the right hands—like Cheval Blanc—it produced beautifully nuanced, long-lived wines. Now in its prime, this bottle offers a bouquet of dried roses, truffle, tobacco, and soft red fruit, with silky tannins and a lingering, earthy finish.
Run by LVMH since 1998, Cheval Blanc is known for precision, pedigree, and patience. Pair it with roast duck, truffle risotto, or a fine aged Comté. A wine that whispers luxury rather than shouts it—a quiet, confident classic.
