This original wooden case contains six 0.75-liter bottles of Ch\u00e2teau Cheval Blanc 2016. The estate is one of the most famous names in Saint-\u00c9milion and is distinguished by its unique terroir and the significant role played by Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage combines power, structure, and refinement.<\/p>\n
Ch\u00e2teau Cheval Blanc is located on the outskirts of Saint-\u00c9milion, near Pomerol. The vineyards form a mosaic of clay, sand, and gravel. These variations in soil contribute to the character of the grapes. Cheval Blanc has historically held an important place within the Saint-Emilion classification and was long ranked in the highest category, Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 A. The 2016 Bordeaux vintage began with wet weather but was followed by a dry summer and favorable conditions during the later ripening period. As a result, many top estates were able to produce wines with concentration and fresh vibrancy. Cabernet Franc and Merlot play a key role at Cheval Blanc in balancing fruit, aroma, and structure. The wine has the potential to continue developing in the bottle. An original wooden case is a recognizable ch\u00e2teau packaging and appealing to enthusiasts who wish to store multiple bottles from the same vintage. However, the packaging itself says nothing about the wine\u2019s aging history.<\/p>\n
Expect black currants, plums, violets, graphite, cedar, and subtle herbal notes. The flavor is rich and layered, with tannins and crisp acidity providing balance. The wine may develop additional nuances as it continues to age in the bottle.<\/p>\n
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Give the wine time to open up. Pair with lamb, fine cuts of beef, or a dish featuring mushrooms.<\/p>\n
