Chateau Cheval Blanc
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Chateau Cheval Blanc is a Premier Grand Cru Classé A winery located on the right bank of Bordeaux in Saint-Émilion, producing red wines from one of the appellation's most unusual blends - predominantly Cabernet Franc with a significant proportion of Merlot. The estate's gravel and clay soils contribute to a structural profile distinct from neighboring Pomerol, and the wines age in new French oak barriques following fermentation. The inventory spans multiple celebrated vintages of Cheval Blanc, including the historically revered 1982 and the Robert Parker-awarded 100-point Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2015. Earlier vintages such as the 1993 and 1996 represent the estate's range across contrasting Bordeaux growing seasons, while the 2014 and 2015 reflect the estate's modern winemaking era under LVMH ownership.
