Château Cheval Blanc is the iconic Saint-Émilion property, owned by Bernard Arnault [LVMH] and the Frère family. In 2021, the 39-hectare estate shocked the wine world by withdrawing from the Saint-Émilion classification system, along with Château Ausone. The 2004 vintage was a challenging year for Bordeaux, with a wet, cool summer that required careful management in the vineyards. However, the skilled winemakers at Cheval Blanc were able to produce elegant wines with good structure and balance.
