From the Producer
Château Cheval Blanc, located at the western edge of the Saint-Émilion appellation adjoining Pomerol, is one of the two Premier Grand Cru Classé A estates of the Saint-Émilion classification (the other being Ausone). The estate's vineyard is unusual for the Right Bank in being planted almost entirely to Cabernet Franc and Merlot in roughly equal shares, on sandy-clay soils over a clay subsoil, with vines dating in part to the pre-phylloxera planting. Cheval Blanc has been bottled at the château since the 19th century and shipped in its original wooden case for decades. The 1995 vintage is widely recognised as one of the great Right Bank wines of the decade, receiving 100 points from Robert Parker.
