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
1980 red wine for sale – Château Cheval Blanc 1980
The 1980 Château Cheval Blanc is a triumph over a challenging, rainy year for Bordeaux, producing a lithe and supple wine rather than a massive, structured one.
While it may lack the power of top-tier years (like 1982), it retains the elegance and complexity associated with this elite producer.
The nose has aromas of herbs, cedar, red fruit, and leather.
On the palate, it has a silky texture and well-integrated tannins.
It is fully mature and should be consumed now.
