Producer Information
Chteau Cheval Blanc is a highly lauded wine estate in the Saint-milion region of northeast Bordeaux. Classified with the top ranking of Premier Grand Cru Class A, it is regarded by many as one of the greatest wines of the appellation if not, the greatest. It is certainly the most famous Cabernet Franc-based wine in the world, albeit often alongside very similar levels of Merlot. Typically, the “grand vin” (the estate’s eponymous wine) is lush and full bodied with great weight of fruit. It tends to require ten years of bottle age and the best vintages can last half a century or more. The second wine of the estate is Le Petit Cheval. The vineyard is located in the northwest of the region, bordering Pomerol (La Conseillante is a neighbor) and consists of 39 hectares (96 acres) divided into 45 plots. There is an unusually large amount of Cabernet Franc planted about 52 percent with 43 percent Merlot and five percent Cabernet Sauvignon.
