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 2006 vintage is a blend of 54% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 100% new oak barrels for 16-17 months. The result is a fruit-forward expression, with plenty of ripe dark fruits, spices, tobacco and earthy minerality. A wine that will age for decades.
