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, M. Laussac-Fourcaud bought 15 hectares (37 acres) from Château Figeac.
As a result, they created Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Notably, the International London and Paris Exhibitions in 1862 and 1867 awarded it medals still prominent on its labels.
Furthermore, the family owned 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 is spread over 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

1967 was a cool, relatively dry year.
Cheval Blanc produced a good vintage, creating an elegant wine with an impression of sweetness that is ready to drink now.
1967 is a good Right Bank vintage. Many acknowledge that wines in the Libourne region were successful.
However, the previous vintage, which has a famous reputation, often outshines the wines of the Médoc.
Summer 1967 brought dry but cool weather, except for the month of July, which felt warmer than average.
Late summer experienced fairly rainy conditions. In years such as this, early-ripening eco-systems like Cheval Blanc’s manage to thrive.
The cool temperatures extended the length of time necessary for phenolic maturity, which explains why they only started the harvest on 27th September.
They recorded low yields – less than 30 hectolitres per hectare.
Château Cheval Blanc 1967 offers a well-balanced profile, with an alcoholic degree of 12.5%.
