Château Cheval Blanc
Saint-Emilion
The Domain
Château Cheval Blanc is one of Bordeaux’s most iconic estates and holds the rare distinction of being classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” in Saint-Émilion. Renowned for its unique terroir and singular style, Cheval Blanc stands apart within the appellation for its elegance, complexity, and remarkable ageing potential.
The vineyard occupies an exceptional mosaic of gravel, clay, and sand soils, creating a diversity of micro-terroirs rarely seen in Saint-Émilion. Unlike most Right Bank estates, Cheval Blanc is planted predominantly to Cabernet Franc, complemented by Merlot, a varietal composition that defines its aromatic finesse, freshness, and structure.
The Style
Viticulture is conducted with extreme precision and respect for the environment, with each parcel managed individually to preserve its identity. In the cellar, vinification is highly detailed and parcel-specific, with gentle extraction and carefully controlled ageing in French oak, seamlessly integrated to support the wine’s natural balance and longevity.
Château Cheval Blanc produces wines of extraordinary depth, elegance, and harmony — combining power without heaviness and refinement without fragility. Revered by collectors, sommeliers, and connoisseurs worldwide, Cheval Blanc is a benchmark of Saint-Émilion and one of the most sought-after wines on the global stage.
