CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC

Château Cheval Blanc is one of the most iconic wineries among the St-Émilion region. Renowned winemaker Pierre Lurton is one of the most talented of his craft working in Bordeaux today, and has ensured that Cheval Blanc is considered to be one of the most prestigious and sought-after wines in the world. Located in the north-west of the appellation, bordering Pomerol, the estate consists of 39 hectares, divided into a patchwork of plots and a unique combination of grape varieties: 52% Cabernet Franc, 43% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Each specific terroir plot is blessed with both excellent gravelly soil and good clay soils in equal proportion, creating base wines with elegance and aromatic complexity in the former and velvety tannins in the latter. The estate was one of the first wineries to be granted Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” status (in the Classification of Saint-Emilion wine) in 1954. Most recently in 1998 Cheval Blanc was bought by the luxury conglomerate LVMH who renovated the estate while staying true to the château’s artisan approach. It is seen as one of the pioneers in sustainable wine making, publishing the now globally recognised manifesto “Agroecology” and has been awarded the prestigious green emblem by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. As with Angélus and Ausone, the last vintage this chateau bottled under St Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A was 2021, after removing their entry from the 2022 classification.
