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
1990 red wine for sale – Château Cheval Blanc 1990
1990 Chateau Cheval Blanc was a hot, especially dry, and early-ripening year.
The crop was perfectly ripe with very rich berries.
Both powerful and smooth, this very great vintage Chateau Cheval Blanc 1990 gives the impression of sweetness on the palate.
1990 Cheval Blanc is an outstanding success for the estate, the perfect counterpart to the very great 1989 vintage.
It is a wonderful way to complete the trilogy begun in 1988, which can only be compared to the mythical 1947–1948–1949 vintages.
Ultimately, the Château Cheval Blanc 1990 is exceptional and here the picking of the Merlot at the critical moment – together with wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc – resulted in one of the great wines of the vintage.
Finally, the award-winning Arden Fine Wines in London offers 1990 red wine for sale – Château Cheval Blanc 1990.
