The Cheval Blanc vineyard, formerly part of the Figeac estate, was transferred to the owners of Château l'Evangile before becoming a separate entity in the 19th century. Under the direction of Pierre Lurton, the estate has maintained its reputation for several years, including after its acquisition by LVMH in 2009. The new cellar, operational since 2011 and designed by Christian de Portzamparc, reflects the property's ecological commitment. Never dethroned from its status as Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" since 1954, Cheval Blanc nevertheless decided to withdraw from the classification in 2022.
Château Cheval Blanc is unique thanks to its exceptional terroir where Cabernet Franc (52%), Merlot (43%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) flourish harmoniously, although their proportions vary with each vintage. This unique combination gives the wine a robust structure and a sense of maturity. Deeply ruby-colored, it exhales floral aromas of violet and blackcurrant. On the palate, the fruits intertwine with powerful tannins. This concentrated Saint-Émilion requires 15 to 25 years of aging to reveal its full magnificence, offering a perfect balance and an elegance reminiscent of the great Pomerols.

Provenance and storage of our wines
All wines and other products come directly from the estates or their exclusive distributors. In some cases, rare and hard-to-find bottles have been purchased from private collectors or professionals. Our expertise guarantees the quality and authenticity of the bottles.
These are stored in the cellar, on Fondaudège Street, in their entirety. The most fragile and rare bottles benefit from aging in a Liebherr or La Sommelière wine cellar.
