Since it won its first medal in 1862, Château Cheval Blanc has maintained its place as one of the world’s greatest wines.
In 1832, Château Figeac sold 15 hectares (37 acres) to M. Laussac-Fourcaud.
As a result, this became Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Notably, in the International London and Paris Exhibitions in 1862 and 1867, it won medals still prominent on its labels.
Furthermore, the family kept the château until 1998, when Bernard Arnault and Albert Frère bought it.
The late Clive Coates MW described Chateau Cheval Blanc as “the only great wine in the world made predominantly from Cabernet Franc.”
The vineyard area spans 41 hectares (100 acres), with 37 hectares (91 acres) planted with a composition of grape varieties of:
- 57% Cabernet Franc
- 40% Merlot
- and small parcels of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon
1941 red wine for sale – Château Cheval Blanc 1941
The 1941 Château Cheval Blanc is a historic, rare Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) from a challenging wartime vintage.
It has a very mature, savoury and classic style with hints of brown sugar, prunes, and high acid brightness.
On the whole, collectors find vintages of this age extremely scarce.
Typically, the labels may be soiled, and the ullage (the amount of wine in the bottle) is lower than in a younger wine.
Arden Fine Wines in London offers the 1941 red wine for sale.
