About Ch. Cheval Blanc
This prominent domain originated in the 18th century. In the 19th century this domain became the property of the Fourcaud-Laussac family who held it until 1998. In 1998 it was sold to Mr. Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frère. The exceptional terroir and the composition of (many) Cabernet Franc and Merlot give these wines an absolutely unique taste. This domain has received a higher number of "exceptional vintage" listings than any classified domain in the last century. Another exceptional point of these wines is the fact that if this wine has reached its best evolution, it will remain that way for a long time.
