Château Cheval Blanc

Where exceptional terroir meets centuries of winemaking mastery, Château Cheval Blanc stands as Saint-Émilion's most revered estate, transforming 41 hectares of singular Bordeaux soil into wines of legendary status and collectible distinction.

Since 1832, Château Cheval Blanc has remained unchanged in size yet revolutionary in approach, with Pierre-Olivier Clouet leading a winemaking philosophy that honors tradition while embracing innovation. The estate's unique position on the Saint-Émilion and Pomerol border creates an extraordinary terroir of deep gravel, clay, and sand—rare for the region and fundamental to the wines' distinctive character. This geological anomaly, combined with 45-year-old vines and a precocious microclimate, enables the cultivation of an unusual blend dominated by Cabernet Franc, setting Cheval Blanc apart from its Right Bank neighbors.

The flagship Château Cheval Blanc represents the pinnacle of investment-grade Bordeaux, consistently earning perfect scores and commanding auction records worldwide. Pierre-Olivier Clouet's meticulous approach combines traditional techniques with cutting-edge precision, producing wines of extraordinary complexity and aging potential. The estate's limited production ensures exclusivity, with each vintage representing the pure expression of this singular terroir. Le Petit Cheval, the estate's second wine, offers earlier accessibility while maintaining the property's exacting standards, making both labels highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs globally.

The estate's architectural marvel, designed by Christian de Portzamparc, seamlessly blends contemporary innovation with respect for the landscape. Visits to Château Cheval Blanc are strictly by appointment and highly exclusive, offering privileged access to the state-of-the-art winery and historic cellars.
