Gosset Celebris Rosé 2008 – Exclusive vintage champagne with depth

firm structure

Château Cheval Blanc, Saint-Emilion, 2009, 75cl 3-set well-defined structureDeep garnet colored, the 2009 Cheval Blanc offers up profound notions of baked blueberries, blackberry compote and crme de cassis with suggestions of chocolate mint, new leather and cloves plus a waft of candied violets. Medium to full bodied, the palate is an exercise in elegance with very classy, super fine grained tannins, beautiful freshness and layer upon layer of mineral laced blue and black fruits, finishing long and perfumed.
