Cheval Blanc

With Ausone, Cheval Blanc is the other premier grand cru classé A designation. However the wine differs widely from his sidekick in style. Located at the other end of the appellation, a sandy-gravelly soil at the edge of Pomerol, the vineyard is based on a substantial proportion of cabernet franc that give the wine its typical characteristics and depth.

Not the most powerful, however he appears capable of Offir fans a unique elegance and refinement. Property businessmen Albert Frère and Bernard Arnault, the castle now distanced in terms of quality by Ausonius, the vintage produced since 1999 seem not to reach the highest level of excellence that fans are entitled to require such a thought.

Pierre Lurton, who runs has he realized? It has in any case, launched a vast program to regain control of the vineyard, a plot after another, and just changed much of the existing teams. No doubt all this will bear fruit.
