2. 1947 Cheval-Blanc
But despite the fact that this particular wine is considered as the finest Cheval-Blanc of the 20th century, it doesn’t quite fit the model of a perfect white wine.
In fact, it lacks many things wine tasters around the world consider crucial for wine to be exquisite.
It’s high in alcohol and acidity, yet few people manage to resist its awesome flavor and texture. This is mostly because back in 1947, mechanized temperature control didn’t exist. An unusually hot summer that year made this Cheval-Blanc so strange, yet so extraordinary. One could say “it was an accident with fortunate results.”
Price per bottle: $300,000
