Grape varieties and terroir

The 2006 Château Cheval Blanc is composed primarily of Merlot (52%) and Cabernet Franc (48%).

The Merlot, meanwhile, offers roundness, fruitiness, and richness. Cheval Blanc's terroir, consisting of sandy-gravelly and clayey soils, allows for a perfect balance, which is reflected in the quality and complexity of this wine.
