Château Cheval Blanc – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru d’Exception

The ultimate symbol of Right Bank elegance and grace

Château Cheval Blanc has long embodied the pinnacle of winemaking excellence in Saint-Émilion. This legendary estate captivates with its distinctive style: wines of extraordinary purity and precision, coveted by collectors and discerning connoisseurs around the globe.

A singular terroir, the matrix of an inimitable style

The estate spans 39 hectares of rare terroir, positioned on the border between Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. This unique location is defined by an exceptional mosaic of gravel, clay, and sandy soils — unlike any other in the appellation.

Its distinctive varietal composition — with a majority of Cabernet Franc (≈ 52%), complemented by Merlot (≈ 43%) and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon — gives rise to wines of noble structure, silky texture, and unparalleled aromatic complexity.

A timeless signature

• A bouquet of pure floral and fruit notes (violet, raspberry, black cherry)
• A generous, silky palate structured by refined tannins
• A persistent, ethereal, almost endless finish

Meticulous barrel ageing, ultra-precise parcel selection, and haute couture vinification give these wines exceptional longevity, capable of maturing gracefully over decades.

Excellence and visionary leadership

Under the enlightened direction of Pierre Lurton, the estate maintains absolute precision at every stage — from vineyard work to final blending. This rigor has elevated Cheval Blanc to the ranks of the world’s most prestigious and sought-after wines.
