This year we will enjoying three of the five famed ‘First Growths’ from the 1855 classification, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Chateau Haut Brion . Alongside these left bank classics, Chateau La Mission Haut Brion, will also be included this year. Then from the Right Bank we also have the legendary Chateau Cheval Blanc, made primarily from Cabernet Franc, holder of the highest rank of Premier Grand Cru Classe (A) in Saint Emilion.
