Chateau Cheval Blanc
The history of Château Cheval Blanc stretches back to the 18th century, when its vineyards were first mapped in 1764. Nearly a century later, the estate was acquired by the Fourcaud-Laussac family, who established its international reputation. Since 1998, the château has been owned by Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frère, who have invested heavily to preserve and enhance its status as one of the world’s greatest wines.
Located at the boundary of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, Cheval Blanc boasts a unique terroir of gravel and clay soils, perfectly suited to its signature blend of Cabernet Franc (58%) and Merlot (42%). This rare composition gives the wine its unmistakable aromatic complexity, freshness, and silky texture, distinguishing it from all other Right Bank estates.
Winemaking follows a philosophy of sustainability and precision — herbicides have never been used, and every parcel is vinified separately to express the full diversity of the terroir.
At tasting, Château Cheval Blanc reveals remarkable grace and depth, with layers of red and black fruit, floral notes, and minerality. Rich, structured, and endlessly refined, it is considered not only a Premier Grand Cru Classé A of Saint-Émilion, but also one of the finest red wines in the world.
