Cheval Blanc is a prestigious winery located in the Saint Emilion appellation of Bordeaux, France. Known for its high quality Grand Cru Classe wines, the estate has a history dating back to the 19th century. The winery is renowned for its commitment to traditional winemaking practices and producing exceptional wines that reflect the terroir of the region.

The 1997 vintage of Cheval Blanc Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe is a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This wine displays a deep ruby color and offers aromas of ripe red berries, plums, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is elegant and well-structured with silky tannins and a long, smooth finish. Pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game dishes, or aged cheeses. This vintage is drinking beautifully now but has the potential for further aging.
