The wine-growing estate

The château Cheval Blanc, is a 37-hectare wine-growing estate located in Saint-Émilion in Gironde, owned by Bernard Arnault and Baron Frère. It is a Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) and is undoubtedly the flagship estate of Saint-Emilion. It is located in the north-west of the appellation, bordering Pomerol. The vineyards of Cheval Blanc ( Merlot 39%, Cabernet Franc 57%, Malbec 3%, Cabernet Sauvignon 1%) enjoy a variety of soils: gravel, clay and sand, all resting on an impermeable sedimentary rock ("crasse de fer"). Fermentation and maceration lasts 4 weeks in stainless steel vats, followed by 18 months of maturation in new oak barrels. Cheval Blanc produces the most famous Cabernet Franc wine in the world and the current manager, Pierre Lurton, is one of the most talented winemakers working in Bordeaux.
