Chateau Cheval Blanc
Château Cheval Blanc is a Premier Grand Cru Classé A estate located in Saint-Émilion, positioned on the boundary of Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Renowned worldwide for its singular blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, Cheval Blanc produces complex, aromatic, and age-worthy red wines that stand as benchmark expressions of fine Bordeaux.
Terroir & Blend Dynamics
The distinct character of Château Cheval Blanc stems from its unique geological position and atypical vineyard proportion.
-
Complex Soil Mosaic: Situated on gravelly and clay soils over hardpan, the vineyard benefits from diverse soil types that combine the power and richness of Pomerol with the elegance and freshness of Saint-Émilion.
-
Cabernet Franc Prominence: Unlike most Saint-Émilion estates dominated heavily by Merlot, Cheval Blanc’s vineyard features approximately 52% Cabernet Franc, 43% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. This high proportion of Cabernet Franc imparts signature notes of floral violet, dark fruit, mint, and fine tobacco leaf.
-
Cellar Longevity: Vinified plot by plot in custom-designed concrete vats and aged in 100% new French oak barrels, the Grand Vin is constructed to develop over decades, evolving complex tertiary notes of truffle, cedar, and leather with bottle age.
