About Chateau Cheval Blanc
Cheval Blanc, on Saint-Émilion's border with Pomerol, farms about 39.5 ha split into some 55 parcels, planted mainly to Cabernet Franc and Merlot plus a little Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each parcel is fermented in its own vat; tasting alone decides which plots enter the grand vin, so the Cabernet Franc–Merlot balance shifts each year. The wine then ages 16–18 months in barrels renewed every vintage, of Tronçais and Bercé oak. The estate prizes grace and elegance. Le Petit Cheval, from at most a quarter of the crop, is suppler and opens sooner. Le Petit Cheval Blanc is a Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon white from an adjoining 8 ha bought in 2006.
