Château Cheval Blanc

Producer description of "Château Cheval Blanc"

The vineyard is located in the Saint-Émilion area (Bordeaux) directly on the border with Pomerol. Its origins date back to the mid-18th century. In 1832, Monsieur Ducasse bought the estate and renovated the vineyards. His son-in-law Jean Laussac-Fourcaud (later Fourcaud-Laussac) took over the management in 1852. He acquired 15 hectares of vineyards from Château Figeac and some neighbouring estates. The current state of the estate dates back to 1871. The red wine won medals at the world exhibitions in London in 1862, Paris in 1867 and Antwerp in 1885, which are depicted on the label. In 1927, the "Société Civile du Cheval-Blanc" was founded and the estate remained in family ownership until 1998.
