Cheval Blanc 2021

Cheval Blanc, a mythical spearhead Although the existence of vines at Cheval Blanc dates back to the 15th century, it was in 1852 that the wine was first marketed under the name of Cheval Blanc. In 1954, during the first classification of the wines of Saint-Emilion, it obtained the supreme distinction: the classification of Premier Grand Cru Classé "A". In 1998, two long-time friends, great wine lovers, joined forces to acquire this jewel of Saint-Emilion: Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frère, and introduced a new dynamic. The Cheval Blanc vineyard covers 39 hectares and is known for having kept its borders unchanged for a century and a half. 45 parcels make up this unique heritage, a true living mosaic. This exceptional terroir is very diversified, sometimes with fine and clayey soils, sometimes with gravelly soils. This typicity is behing the unusual high proportion of Cabernet franc, the dominant grape variety since 1911. Cheval Blanc, an agriculture focused on life "The wine of Château Cheval Blanc draws its exceptional quality from a fabulous terroir. I like very much the idea that by stimulating the life of the soil, nature, by itself, always reinforces the intensity and richness of our wines." Bernard Arnault, President of the LVMH Group. The very special identity of Cheval Blanc is defined by its terroir, a unique and living heritage. Here, everything is done to ensure that it is fully revealed in each bottle. In order to preserve and reinforce the equilibrium of this fragile and yet magical ecosystem, the teams have put into practice the great principles of agroforestry and many trees have been planted in the Cheval Blanc vineyard. Ancestral systems, enhanced by today's knowledge and innovation, daily inspire them to produce the greatest Cheval Blanc, with an absolute respect for the land that will be passed on to future generations.
