Cheval Blanc 2017 is a sublime expression of Bordeaux elegance. This dry red wine, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, has an intense ruby color. The nose enchants with complex notes of red fruits and spices, while the palate reveals a refined structure, silky tannins, and remarkable persistence. Aged in barriques, it's ideal with significant dishes.
