About Château Cheval Blanc
Château Cheval Blanc, located on the “Pomerol side” of St-Émilion, is one of the most renowned wineries in the world. With its unique terroir of well-drained thick clay and gravel, the estate is able to make a Cabernet Franc dominant wine, which is rare in the region. Planted to 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot, the meticulous team at Château Cheval Blanc focuses on every aspect of viticulture management to winemaking, with a particular emphasis on aromatics. Technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet, assisted by the knowledgeable Professor Kees van Leeuwen on-site, studies every inch of the vineyard since planting in some cases.
Despite its high classification as one of the four Premier Grand Cru Classé A estates in St-Émilion, Château Cheval Blanc recently departed from the St-Emilion Classification system. Despite the departure, it has not affected the quality and reputation of the estate, which continues to produce some of the world’s greatest wines. Famed for its floral, smoky edges and whisps of perfectly ripened fruit, Château Cheval Blanc is truly one of the world's great wines and a must-try for any wine lover. Indulge in our extensive Cheval Blanc vertical, which includes some of the 100 pointed vintages like 1998, 2000, 2009, 2010 and more...

The palate is gracefully styled and medium-bodied with layer upon layer of fruit, earth, and perfumed spice flavors, framed by silky tannins and beautiful tension, finishing long and minerally. Phenomenal! |
