Chateau Cheval Blanc 1947
Parker called it "possibly the most perfect wine I have ever tasted" — the 1947 defies all classification.
The 1947 Chateau Cheval Blanc is widely considered the greatest wine from Saint-Emilion and possibly all Bordeaux, with a 6-litre imperial selling for $304,375 at Christie's Geneva in 2010. The extreme heat wave during the 1947 summer concentrated sugar levels to near-port richness, creating a wine of unclassifiable style. Robert Parker assigned it 100 points, calling it "possibly the most perfect wine." Bottles in 750ml format sell for $8,000–$15,000 at auction.
