Cheval Blanc
Cheval Blanc
Located in the north-west of Saint-Emilion, on the border with Pomerol, Cheval Blanc is one of the stars of the wine world, and easily the leading estate in Saint-Emilion, responsible for the word’s most famous Cabernet Franc based wine. The 39 hectares of vineyards on the property are planted to around 50 percent Cabernet Franc and 45 percent Merlot with the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon and the soils are either clay or gravel based, which provide the wines with velvety richness and aromatic purity. They need at least a decade of cellaring after release and can age for fifty years or more.
