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 1986 Château Cheval Blanc, a highly-regarded Saint-Émilion red wine, has reached its full peak of maturity.
Although the 1986 vintage in Bordeaux’s Right Bank generally presented challenges, this wine stands out as an exception that bucks the trend.
Experts note its high Cabernet Franc content, which provides remarkable aromatic intensity and finesse.
Château Cheval Blanc 1986 offers a medium-bodied and elegant experience with silky tannins that have smoothened over four decades of ageing.
On the finish, you can expect a sophisticated mix of dark berries, menthol, cigar ash, and earthy undertones.
