2011 Chateau Cheval Blanc

This is the most expensive wine made from Bordeaux Blend Red in Saint-Emilion. Over the past year the wine has become more affordable.

Vineyard notes: "Located in the commune of Saint-Emilion , but bordering on Pomerol, the estate consist of 39 hectares divided into forty-five plots. Each one is, to a certain exent, treated like a seperate vineyard because of the differences in the age of the vines, grape variety, soil type, ect. The combination of these many facets accounts for Cheval Blanc’s great complexity. Three main soil types – fine textured with clay, more coarsely textured with gravel, and large gravel with sand – that constitute a veritable patchwork."
