Château Cheval Blanc

Château Cheval Blanc · Bordeaux · France

Château Cheval Blanc is an red wine from France, in the Bordeaux region (Southwest France, around the city of Bordeaux and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.), made principally from Cabernet Franc. The benchmark Saint-Émilion First Growth, famed for a rare, perfumed Cabernet Franc-dominant blend.

In character, this premium tier delivers the classic cabernet franc profile — red fruit, bell pepper, graphite, violet — with the structural stamp of Bordeaux and a medium-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
