Product Notes
The main guideline of the vinification at Cheval Blanc is based on a fresh ripening of the grapes, a vinification as close as possible to the plot selection, a gentle extraction, a long maceration, manual pumping over and a single delestage during 4 weeks of maceration. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vats, then the wine ages in barrels.
Château Cheval Blanc 2009 aged for 16 months with 100% new barrels.
