71st birthday wine – Château Cheval Blanc 1955
The 1955 growing season in Bordeaux stood out.
In particular, warm, dry summer weather and a perfectly timed rainfall in September characterized it, ensuring maximum ripeness.
Moreover, it produced a large, healthy crop of wines that wine producers known for their rich, full-bodied character.
Furthermore, in 1955, warm weather during the harvest benefited the vintage, resulting in high yields of 42 hectolitres per hectare.
Consequently, the winemakers aged the 1955 vintage in 6-year-old barrels.
As a result, this created an amazing wine with an exquisite bouquet.
Additionally, it achieved a successful balance between concentration and finesse on the palate.
Moreover, this great wine tastes silky, delicious, and is more vivacious than the excellent 1953.
It has an intense and refined bouquet featuring dried fruit, leather, tobacco, and earthy notes, with some tasters noting exotic hints of coconut or truffle.
The palate is elegant and balanced with a velvety texture and flavours of dark cherry, plum, and spice.
The high yields demonstrate that they do not conflict with subtle flavours, thanks to the dry weather from early spring through the end of summer and into the harvest.
Therefore collectors still seek the extremely pleasant 1955 Cheval Blanc, hoping for good surprises.
