Producer description:

Chateau Cheval Blanc is a St Emilion1er Grand Cru Classé (A) and arguably the most famous Cabernet Franc based wine on the planet. It all started when Jean-Jacques Ducasse acquired the land from Ch Figeac in 1832. The second generation understood the importance of water stress to produce fine wine and installed an efficient drainage system. They also replanted the vineyard with half Cabernet Franc, something very unusual back then. Since 1998, the estate has been in the hands of Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frère who built a state of the art winery.
