One of four Saint-Émilion wineries to enjoy the status of Premier Grand Cru Classé "A", alongside Château Angélus, Château Ausone and Château Pavie; Château Cheval Blanc produces the world’s greatest Cabernet Franc-based wine and is a reference point for the best that can be achieved with the grape. Cheval Blanc’s Grand Vin has received a number of all-important 100 and 99 point scores from Parker, with the 2010, 2005 and 1947 being among the most sought-after vintages.
