In 1832, M. Laussac-Fourcaud purchased 15 hectares (37 acres) from Château Figeac.
This transformation created Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Then in the International London and Paris Exhibitions in 1862 and 1867, it earned medals still prominent on its labels.
Subsequently, the family retained the château until 1998.
Then 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.”

- 57% Cabernet Franc
- 40% Merlot

Notably, the nose presents notes of red fruit, herbal spice, as well as earthy notes like black truffle.
