The 2021 vintage faced significant challenges across Bordeaux, including spring frosts, rain, and disease pressure, resulting in reduced yields. Despite these difficulties, Cheval Blanc produced a wine that emphasizes finesse over power, offering a more classical Bordeaux profile with fresh red and black fruit flavors, floral notes, and subtle hints of spice and tobacco. The palate shows medium body and elegant structure, with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins, showcasing the estate's ability to craft refined and balanced wines even in challenging years.

Cheval Blanc stands out as the undisputed leader in Saint-Emilion. Its unique blend, dominated by Cabernet Franc, gives the wine a distinctive style and elegance that is highly sought after throughout the Right Bank. Although devoid of Cabernet Sauvignon, this Premier Grand Cru Classé A remains an exceptional aging wine that withstands the test of time, even decades, to ultimately offer us highly complex bouquets where moka mingles with truffle and raspberry. Since 1998, Château Cheval Blanc has been owned by Albert Frère and Bernard Arnault. It is managed by Pierre Lurton, an iconic figure in the Bordeaux wine region.
Château Cheval Blanc is located in Saint-Émilion, a prestigious wine appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. This region is renowned for its Merlot and Cabernet Franc-based wines, with Cheval Blanc being a notable exception due to its higher proportion of Cabernet Franc. The region is also known for its unique classification system, periodically reviewed to maintain high standards among its producers, with Cheval Blanc holding the coveted Premier Grand Cru Classé A status.
Saint-Émilion's terroir is characterized by a varied landscape of limestone plateaus, clay-rich soils, and gravelly slopes. The area benefits from a temperate maritime climate, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. Saint-Émilion is distinguished by its picturesque medieval town, which, along with its vineyards, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
