DOMAINE DE CHEVAL BLANC

Located in Saint-Germain-de-Graves, Château Cheval Blanc is a long-standing family property that should not be confused with its famous namesake on the Right Bank. This boutique estate passionately cultivates fifteen hectares on steep clay-limestone slopes. Here, the work is manual and traditional, aiming to produce authentic wines that reflect the generosity of the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux. The red wines, primarily crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, offer a solid structure and ripe fruit aromas, providing excellent value for money. The estate also produces superb sweet dessert wines, benefiting from the local microclimate that encourages noble rot. The visit is simple and sincere: you will often be welcomed by the winemaker himself, ready to explain the challenges of hillside viticulture. It is the ideal address for curious visitors seeking to discover the true soul of the Bordeaux vineyards through artisanal production, well away from the typical tourist paths.
