A blend of wines from selected partner winegrowers, Cheval Noir Bordeaux Rouge reflects the expertise of our oenologists. A major effort has been undertaken in Bordeaux by their technical team to identify those terroirs most propitious to ripening Merlot and Cabernet, the varieties in Cheval Noir Bordeaux Rouge. The grapes grow on slope vineyards. Grape varieties consist of 85% Merlot (contributing fruitiness and roundness), 10% Cabernet Sauvignon (providing structure), and 5% Cabernet Franc (adding aromatic finesse). The wine’s potential is due to clay-limestone terroir.
