Château Cheval Blanc 1995 (1 IMP)

Château Cheval Blanc 1995

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Very slightly scuffed label, scuffed capsule

Harvest from 15 to 28 September. In the previous 50 years at Cheval Blanc, only the 1990 and the 1989 were picked earlier which shows how things have changed climatically since then. 44hl/ha made - a generous vintage. 12.8% alcohol. Cabernet Franc 53%, Merlot 47%. Due to circumstances beyond his control (Mother Nature!), this was Pierre Lurton's first great vintage. In 2023, woodsmoke and leather on the nose, always a mark of the property, with a touch of meatiness. Dense, rich and chocolatey on the palate, thick-textured and with a long finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 92

此酒是在9月15日至28日期間收採。在白馬堡過去五十年，就只有1990及1989兩個年份比此酒更早收成，這可反映出近年全球天氣的轉變。這一年的產量每公頃共有4,400升，可說是成績斐然的年份。酒精濃度為12.8%。葡萄品種分別是53%的卡本納．弗朗，以及47%的梅樂。雖然天氣情況未在掌握之中（所謂天意難測！），酒莊新掌舵人皮埃爾．勒頓（Pierre Lurton）終於守得雲開，釀造出此偉大年份。於2011年品嚐，勁道十足並充滿煙燻氣息，甚至帶有一絲肉香。酒身豐滿，有點生鐵味，溢滿黑果氣息的濃稠佳釀。施慧娜 (葡萄酒大師 M.W.)
