Blend and Origin
2005 Château Cheval Blanc, Saint-Emiliion
The 2005 vintage is widely regarded as outstanding in the Bordeaux region. Featuring the driest weather on record, 2005 produced superb merlot and cabernet franc grapes with unprecedented levels of sugar concentration – without becoming over-ripe. This blend, 49% cabernet franc and 51% merlot, was aged in new oak barrels for 16-17 months.
Additional delivery charges may apply. This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
