Cheval Blanc has been awarded the prestigious Green Emblem by Robert Parker for its creation of agroecology, which is gaining attention from environmentally conscious consumers and investors alike.

The ownership of Cheval Blanc by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) provides the prestigious winery with unparalleled resources and global reach, facilitating the continuous pursuit of excellence in winemaking, innovation, and market presence.

100 Points – Lisa Perrotti-Brown
“All the plots but two made it into Cheval Blanc 2015. Those two were sold in bulk and no Petit Cheval was made in that year. With 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet colored 2015 Cheval Blanc prances out with a gorgeous perfume of roses, spearmint, and black tea, before giving way to a core of chocolate-covered cherries, redcurrant preserves, and juicy plums, plus a waft of iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is dense and muscular, featuring a fine frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with loads of floral and mineral fireworks. Stunning!”
