Cheval Blanc 坐落於 Saint-Emilion 已有二百年歷史。曾幾何時，它只是一所種植葡萄的普通合作社 Le Barrail des Cailloux，但進入十九世紀，酒莊便進入強大而浪漫的夢想年代。從 1832 年酒莊概念的形成，到 1871 年開始達至今天的規模，Cheval Blanc 的傳奇歷史開始譜寫。
無疑將 Merlot，這款 Saint-Emilion 和 Pomerol 常用的葡萄品種，與 Cabernet Franc 結合，促成了 Cheval Blanc 的誕生。
事實上，自從在 1862 年倫敦萬國博覽會上贏得首個獎牌（至今仍印在標籤上），Cheval Blanc 一直保持着世界頂級葡萄酒之一的地位。它的優雅、變化和精緻，體現了法國的獨特文化。

品酒筆記：
1995 年的 Cheval Blanc 美麗而吸引，十分卓越。散發著迷人的煙燻、黑加侖、咖啡和異國情調的花香。風味複雜而濃郁，酒體中等至飽滿，味道純淨而充實，餘韻中帶有意外的堅韌單寧。與更甜、更成熟的 1996 年相比，1995 年可能結構更佳，陳年潛力更長久。
Château Cheval Blanc has been situated in the commune of Saint-Emilion for 200 years. There was a time when Cheval Blanc was merely 'Le Barrail des Cailloux', a modest smallholding where vines grew. But then came the nineteenth century and the estate's romantic dream of greatness. From 1832 when the estate was conceived, up to 1871 when it finally reached its present-day configuration, the pages of the legendary history of Cheval Blanc were written.
It was the idea of marrying the Merlot, the traditional variety used in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, with the Caberbet Franc that gave birth to Cheval Blanc.
Since it won its first medal, still featured on its labels, at the Universal Exhibition of London in 1862, Château Cheval Blanc has maintained its place as one of the world’s greatest wines. Its grace, alchemy and elegance are the incarnation of refined French culture, of unparalleled quality.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 92 points)
A pretty, attractive Cheval Blanc... it appears to be an outstanding Cheval Blanc with an enthralling smoky, black currant, coffee, and exotic bouquet. Complex, rich, medium to full-bodied flavors are well-endowed and pure, with surprisingly firm tannin in the finish. Unlike the sweeter, riper 1996, the 1995 may be more structured and potentially longer-lived.
