Expressive nose of raspberry, violets, and graphite. Satin-smooth tannins with vibrant acidity and extraordinary length.
Our Review
Cheval Blanc's unique blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot produces a wine unlike any other in Bordeaux. The 2019 is perfumed, graceful, and intensely pleasurable from the first sip.
