Château Cheval Blanc
Since 1871, the surface area of Château Cheval Blanc has remained unchanged: 41 hectares including 37 hectares in one part, located on the Saint-Emilion plateau on the edge of the Pomerol appellation.
The vines are planted in approximately identical clay-clay soil in the subsoil, supplemented with ferric screeds in places, thus forming a unique terroir.
The average age of the vines is 40 years, but the oldest vines date back to 1920.
The grape varieties are original and very specific: Cabernet franc: 49%, Merlot 47% and Cabernet Sauvignon 4%. Production is of the order of 156 barrels depending on the vintage, i.e. about 180 to 190,000 bottles for a very low yield per hectare of 3,500 litres.
