The Château Cheval Blanc winery is located in Saint-Émilion, in the Bordeaux wine region. Its wine is one of only two to receive the highest ranking, Premier Grand Cru Classé (A), in the 1955 Saint Emilion Wine Classification, along with Château Ausone. The origin of the winery dates back to 1832, when Château Figeac sold 15 hectares of land to Mr. Laussac-Fourcaud. A few years later, its wines would achieve international renown when they were awarded medals at the Universal Exhibitions in London and Paris in 1862 and 1867, medals that still feature prominently on their labels. The vineyard is considered to have three main qualities: one third Pomerol, as it is located on the border; one third Graves, as the soil is gravelly; and the remaining third typical of Saint Emilion. The vineyard area covers 41 hectares, with 37 hectares planted with an unusual composition of grape varieties: 57% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and small plots of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The average annual production is 6,000 cases of the Grand Vin, and 2,500 cases of the second wine, Le Petit Cheval.
