PRESENTATION
Known throughout the world, Château Cheval Blanc, a Premier Grand Cru Classé A, is one of the legendary estates of the Right Bank wines of the Bordeaux region. The estate's second wine, Petit Cheval, offers a superb introduction to the excellence of the great Cheval Blanc, with elegant, powerful wines and a palate of vibrant, luscious fruit. With a new winery designed by Christian de Portzamparc and inaugurated in June 2011, Château Cheval Blanc continues to write the legend of Bordeaux's greatest wines. Château Cheval Blanc benefits from a unique and rare terroir, enjoying a special position on the Saint-Émilion plateau. While the Saint-Émilion appellation is known for its limestone formations, Château Cheval Blanc is situated on the Quaternary alluvial deposits of the Isle, a non-calcareous formation with a varied texture, combining gravel and clay soils in roughly equal proportions. This unique soil characteristic means that this property benefits from soils similar to those of the greatest Pomerol wines. TASTING PAIRINGS WINEMAKING
