Wines for the Year of the Horse?

Kung Hei Fat Choy! Greetings on the first day of the Year of the Horse! The first wine that comes to mind with an equine connection is Chateau Cheval Blanc - the St Emilion Premiere Grand Cru Classe (A) and its second wine Le Petit Cheval. Sometimes you can also find a St Emilion Grand Cru called Chateau Cheval Noir, from the Mahler Besse portfolio. This prestige cuvee has been produced since 2011 under consultation with Hubert de Bouard of Chateau Angelus.

Another famous winery with a horse connection is the Iron Horse Winery which is one of the top Sonoma producers of sparkling wine. Of course, there are lots of other wines with either cheval, horse or equus etc in the name, of every level of price and quality, which might be deemed appropriate for a celebration of the year of the horse. So raise a glass ... and cheers!
