Cheval Blanc had a disastrous year in 1977 with over 75% of the crop lost because of the poor weather. The resulting wine should have been declassified. It is light in color, with a sweet vegetable aroma and shallow flavor, and has a nasty, harsh, astringent finish. Last tasted, 10/90.

12: Das ist – vom Auge her gesehen – so ein richtiger Newspaper-Wine. Er ist nämlich so hell, sodass man durch ihn hindurch locker noch eine Tageszeitung lesen kann. Also sehr helles Rosarot mit orangem Schimmer. Das Bouquet ist zwar schlank, aber doch relativ angenehm, wenig Aromen, irgendwie etwas gemüsig, vermischt mit Kochschokospänen. Im Gaumen megaschlank, dezent kapselig, aufrauende Textur, bitterkapseliges Finale. vorbei
Producer
Château Cheval Blanc
Producing phenomenal wines vintage after vintage, some being the most renowned wines in the world - the legendary Château Cheval Blanc lays at their forefront. Bernault Arnault and Albert Frère purchased the property in the late 1990s, sparing no expense the partners plan to make Cheval Blanc the greatest château on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Classified as a Grand Cru Classé A-grade property, Cheval Blanc owns unarguably the highest plantings of Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux. Bordering the Pomerol appellation, with over half of their 39-hectares of land planted to Cabernet Franc, the estate consists of forty-five separate plots scattered across the region. The unique patchwork of an estate, alongside the high proportion of Cabernet Franc, accounts for the wine’s great complexity. A classically styled Cheval Blanc can be described by its rich, concentrated and intensely complex dark berry fruit and all spice flavors. Ten years or more of ageing will display the structured silky texture of the Grand Vin, Cheval Blanc at its best. A truly unrivalled wine.
