{"product_id":"chateau-cheval-blanc-saint-emilion-1981-very-unrepairable-torn-labels","title":"Chateau Cheval Blanc, Saint-Emilion, 1981 (Missing Most of Label)","description":"Missing most of its label, this 1981 Cheval Blanc is a bottle for opening, not displaying, and that's the case for buying it. A damaged label matters to a collector thinking about resale. It stops mattering once the cork is out, which makes a bottle like this an accessible way into a mature vintage from one of Saint-Emilion's great names. Cheval Blanc has been in the commune for two centuries. Today the estate farms 39.5 hectares split into 55 plots, and vinifies each plot separately before blending. Its labels still carry the medal the house won at the 1862 Universal Exhibition in London (on this bottle, you'll have to take our word for it). It's a red now more than four decades old, so stand it upright a day ahead, decant gently off any sediment and plan to finish it the evening you open it.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047941242937,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-NC11026-110226-83-B-99","price":579.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Cheval-Blanc-Saint-Emilion-1981-Missing-Most-of-Label-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793782962","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-cheval-blanc-saint-emilion-1981-very-unrepairable-torn-labels","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
