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

Unlike the Médoc, this was a smaller vintage than 1982 in Saint-Emilion and many outstanding wines were made which have perhaps developed more slowly than might have been expected.
The 1985 Cheval Blanc is at least as impressive as 1982.
It is flamboyantly scented with jammy black fruits and Asian spices.
On the palate, it has a plush, opulent, sensuous mouthfeel and scents of truffle and tobacco, with a lively, savoury character.
