1971 Chateau Cheval Blanc 1971 1er Grand Cru Classe St Emilion (bin soiled label)

Description

From the very good 1971 vintage, this red wine from the greatest St Emilion Chateau was scored 20/20 by Jancis Robinson “Wonderfully sweet, round and florally aromatic with a beautifully smooth texture. A brilliant wine, even if not a blockbuster, and one that I was given blind by owner Jacques Hébrard when I visited the château while researching The Great Wine Book in 1981. I’m delighted to be able to add a tasting note on it to our database, even if it is arguably more enthusiastic than explicatory. Still going strong.” Drink now – 2026.
