The story of Petit Cheval blanc began in 2006 when Château Cheval Blanc acquired Château La Tour du Pin, a cru classé of around eight hectares. The two properties are separated only by the road leading from Saint-Emilion to Pomerol. The vines of La Tour du Pin were integrated into the Château Cheval Blanc estate and totally restructured. A small percentage of the land which showed excellent potential for red wines was added Château Cheval Blanc’s vineyards in 2012. The rest of the terrain proved to be less restricted in terms of its water content. This specificity, which can be a handicap for red wine grapes, is a positive for whites and so, in the lap of Château Cheval Blanc, a great white wine was born.
