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
2001 red wine for sale – Château Cheval Blanc 2001
The 2001 Château Cheval Blanc is one of the best Bordeaux reds from that vintage.
It is medium-bodied, refined, and aromatic rather than powerful.
The nose has aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and black truffle, with hints of graphite, cedar, chocolate, and menthol.
On the palate, it has smooth tannins and a long, fresh finish.
Arden Fine Wines recommends decanting this wine for 1 to 2 hours before serving to allow the bouquet to fully develop.
