Order wine : Château Cheval Blanc 1985
Saint-Emilion - First Grand Cru Rated
95/100 Parker
Drink Date : 2018 - 2038
Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown in 2018 : "Medium garnet-brick colored, the 1985 Cheval Blanc sashays out of the glass with provocative notes of sandalwood, cinnamon stick, cardamom, dried lavender and wilted roses over a core of new leather, cigar box, prunes, raisin cake and dusty soil. Medium-bodied, soft and silken textured, it has tons of mature, melt-in-your-mouth flavors and a very long exotic spice-laced finish."
FOOD AND WINE PAIRING
Château Cheval Blanc is best served with food, and can be paired with an entire meal, from starter to dessert. However, French gastronomy varies with the seasons, as does our Cheval Blanc. It is therefore difficult to give suggestions at the risk of being disappointed during the tasting.
On the other hand, Cheval Blanc goes remarkably well with a fish dish (monkfish, cod, turbot, St. Pierre, etc.), especially if there is an element in the dish that links it to the land (mushrooms, for example). For more detailed advice on food and wine pairing, we suggest you contact a sommelier.
