Description

France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion The 18th-century château is right on the border with Pomerol. As a novelty for the area, the red wine is pressed with a very high proportion of Cabernet Franc. Due to the iron-rich gravel and sandy soil on loam, this variety reaches a ripeness like nowhere else in Bordeaux. Château Cheval Blanc has been classified with the highest distinction "Premier Grand Cru Classé A" in all classifications (some even put it higher) and has the same reputation in Saint-Émilion as Château Mouton-Rothschild in the Médoc. The Grand Vin des Châteaus is considered an icon, a unique, unmistakable wine, coveted by wine lovers all over the world and therefore difficult to come by. With the 2016 vintage, the Cheval Blanc was awarded 100 Parker points for the second time in a row.
