We had the privilege of having a private tour of Cheval Blanc. It is owned by
the Bernard Arnault (LVMH) and bottles run into the thousands.
In Saint Emilion, there are only two wines in this category, Cheval Blanc and Ausone.
It was all very simple and not how I imagined but felt lucky to have been invited.
