Chateau Cheval Blanc is managed like an orchestra.
The vineyard is divided into 56 individual plots, each with its own identity — different soils, grape varieties, vine ages, rootstocks, exposures and drainage.
Each parcel is harvested and vinified separately. Like instruments in an orchestra, each brings something different to the final composition.
Together, they create an apotheosis of complexity that ultimately translates into emotion.
Cheval Blanc possesses one of the greatest terroirs in the world and produces grapes of incredible quality. But you can have the greatest musicians in the world — what makes the music extraordinary is how they play together.
And just as every musical composition requires a different combination of instruments, each vintage of Cheval Blanc brings together a different selection and proportion of its 56 parcels.
The winemaking team becomes the orchestra’s conductor, carefully selecting and blending each parcel to compose a wine of extraordinary harmony, depth and precision.
This is what makes Cheval Blanc so unique: its extraordinary complexity comes from 56 different parcels, each with its own personality, coming together to create one magical wine.
