Château Cheval Blanc stands in Saint-Émilion (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Château Cheval Blanc is a wine estate within the Saint-Émilion appellation in the Gironde, noted for its distinctive terroir of gravel and clay set on Quaternary alluvial soils, similar to those found in Pomerol. The present building dates from the late nineteenth century, the period when the estate built its international reputation. What draws attention here is less a monument to tour than the history of a vineyard, planted with an unusual blend of merlot and cabernet franc across some thirty-nine hectares.

What to know

  • The estate lies within the Saint-Émilion appellation in the Gironde.
  • The vineyard covers roughly thirty-nine hectares, planted mainly with merlot and cabernet franc.
  • The current château building was constructed during the 1880s, at the height of the estate's international recognition.
  • Ownership of the property has changed only once since Jean-Jacques Ducasse acquired it in 1832.
