The present-day Cheval Blanc vineyards had vines at least as far back as the 18th century, as shown by Belleyme's map of the region dated 1764. Nearly a century later, the estate was acquired by the Fourcaud-Laussac family who owned it until 1998, when it was sold to Mr Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frère.
The vineyard is in a single block, and borders on the Pomerol appellation. An outstanding terror and unusual proportions of Cabernet Franc and Merlot give this great wine an absolutely unique flavor. Château Cheval Blanc has had a greater number of outstanding vintages than any other classified great growth over the past century.
Another unusual characteristic of Cheval Blanc is that once it reaches its peak, it maintains it for a very long time. This admirable wine is powerful, soft, rich, round and silky. It has tremendous fruit and elegance as well as exceptional quality from year to year.

of crushed black fruit with hints of toast. The bouquet opens up nicely when the wine is swirled around the glass. The attack is supple and clean,

Pretty ruby-red color. The bouquet is fine and elegant, with aromas of flowers, ripe fruit, cherries and redcurrants. The attack is supple and vinous, the tannins mellow and the impression on the palate is velvety and smooth. This is a well-balanced, harmonious wine with hints of crystallized fruit.
