Grape varieties and terroir

The 2009 Château Cheval Blanc is composed of 54% Merlot and 46% Cabernet Franc. This blend of grapes, perfect for Cheval Blanc's terroir, creates a wine that is both rich and refined. The Merlot gives the wine a silky texture and fruity roundness, while the Cabernet Franc brings freshness, complexity, and elegance. Cheval Blanc's unique terroir of clay-gravel and sandy-clay soils ensures optimal ripening of the grapes and gives the wine great aromatic depth.
