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

The 1983 Château Cheval Blanc stands out as one of the greatest successes of its vintage in Bordeaux.
Although the 1983 growing season posed challenges with difficult and rainy weather for the Right Bank, an exceptionally hot August and dry September allowed Cheval Blanc to produce an excellent wine.
Furthermore, the winemakers crafted powerful and complex aromas.
In addition, you’ll discover notes of blackcurrant, plum, and raspberry alongside tertiary scents of truffle, cigar box, forest floor, and Asian spices.
Moreover, the winemakers created a medium to full-bodied palate with a silky texture.
Specifically, it showcases a nice balance of sweet fruit and fine tannins, finishing with hints of anise, coffee, and cocoa.
