1982 Château Cheval Blanc, 1er Grand Cru Classé 'A' St Emilion

Arguably Saint-Émilion’s most celebrated estate and one that only recently withdrew from its very elite Premier Grand Cru Classé 'A' appellation status. Cheval Blanc has always been renowned for its distinctive blend of cabernet franc and merlot, producing as it does wines of remarkable perfume, finesse, and longevity. Situated on gravel and clay terroir bordering Pomerol, the estate sits at a unique crossroads of power and elegance — a benchmark for Right Bank excellence and one of Bordeaux’s enduring, unyielding icons.
