🏰 The 1999 Chateau Cheval Blanc is a 【seamless beauty of finesse, charm, and concentration, offering an explosively fragrant bouquet】 despite a vintage that demanded excellence. This Premier Grand Cru Classé A from Saint-Émilion, known for its unique blend dominated by Cabernet Franc, showcases notes of menthol, leather, black fruits, licorice, and mocha, with a medium-bodied palate of extraordinary elegance and purity. It's described as a polished and gorgeous Cheval, already showing well and gaining richness in the bottle.
🍴 This refined Bordeaux red pairs beautifully with classic meat dishes like veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, and game, whether roasted, braised, or grilled. It also complements Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta. Consider roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic, or a delicate beef Wellington.
🥂 Ideal for a significant anniversary, a high-stakes business dinner, or a luxurious gathering of wine lovers. It's an exciting Cheval Blanc to drink relatively young, with an anticipated maturity from 2006-2022.
BACKGROUND
Chateau Cheval Blanc is a property in the Saint-Emilion region of Bordeaux, classified with the top ranking of Premier Grand Cru Classe A.The vineyard is located in the northwest of the region, bordering Pomerol – La Conseillante is a neighbor – and consists of 39 hectares (96 acres) divided into 45 plots. There is an unusually high amount of Cabernet Franc planted, about 49 percent, with 47 percent Merlot and 4 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. The unusual planting proportions reflect the terroir; most vineyards in the region are either clay or gravel-based over impermeable sedimentary rock, but Cheval Blanc is unique in having a patchwork of soils with the two types in roughly equal proportions. The clay soils provide base wines with velvety tannins, while those from gravel soils are more aromatic and elegant.
