About the Producer:
“Cheval Blanc is a Premier Grand Cru Classé A — one of a small number of elite St-Emilion producers at the top of their classification. Holding a pretty impressive 91 acres of land in this small appellation, the winery makes one of Bordeaux’s most profound and collectible wines. Cheval Blanc is often (and understandably) confused with Bordeaux’s first growths, but the 1855 classification did not extend to St-Emilion.
The deserved praises of Cheval Blanc have been sung for quite some time, notably by Robert Parker, having a great effect on the popularity of the wine. The vineyards are planted to 66% Cabernet Franc and 34% Merlot.”
