History and anecdotes

The Cheval Blanc estate was created in 1832 by Jean-Jacques Ducasse following the acquisition of vineyard lands formerly attached to Château Figeac. Recognizing an exceptional terroir, the owners chose a unique grape composition, consisting of half Merlot and half Cabernet Franc. The wine was first awarded a gold medal at the 1878 Universal Exhibition in Paris.

In 1954, Cheval Blanc was classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the Saint-Emilion ranking.

In 1998, Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frère became the owners of the prestigious château, bringing it renewed vitality. Pierre Lurton then became Chairman and CEO of Cheval Blanc.
