{"title":"Cheval Blanc","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Cheval Blanc is one of the greatest estates of Saint-Émilion, and one of the most distinctive names on the whole of Bordeaux's Right Bank. It built its reputation on an unusually high share of Cabernet Franc, a grape most châteaux use only in support, and on a rare terroir of gravel, clay and sand right on the Pomerol border. The result is a wine that is perfumed and silky yet genuinely powerful, and one that ages for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA rare terroir on the Saint-Émilion and Pomerol border\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 39-hectare vineyard sits where Saint-Émilion meets Pomerol, and that position tells you a great deal about the wine. Around 40% of the soil is gravel and another 40% is clay, including the deep blue clay in front of the château where the oldest Cabernet Franc vines grow. Held as a Premier Grand Cru Classé A from 1954, the estate has belonged since 1998 to LVMH's Bernard Arnault and the late Albert Frère, with Pierre Lurton running things day to day. In 2022 it chose to leave the Saint-Émilion classification altogether, confident its name needs no ranking.
