Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 1993

As the 1979 Cheval Blanc becomes less and less attractive, the 1978 has gained in stature. Although it would suffer in a blind tasting against such legends as the 1982 and 1983, the 1978 offers a smoky, herbaceous, curranty bouquet, medium-bodied, ripe, herbaceous, rich, roasted flavors, and moderate tannins in the austere yet classy finish. This fine Cheval Blanc may merit an outstanding rating as it reaches full maturity. Could this be a replay of the 1966? Last tasted, 5/93.

About Winery

Situated in the farthest corner of St. Emilion, bordering into Pomerol. (Appellation Saint Emilion Control...Premier Grand Cru Classe ...One of the rare properties to never have changed hands, the vineyard has been the property of the Fourcaud-Laussac for over 150 years. 15 hectares of land sold by Figeac to Monsieur Ducasse in 1832, and a further 15 hectares acquired in 1837 constituted the future Cheval Blanc. In 1854 Mademoiselle Ducasse married Monsieur Fourcaud-Laussac. On this occasion 5 hectares were added to the domaine which henceforth sold the wine under the name of Chateau Cheval blanc. Since this time, the heirs of Fourcaud-Laussac have run the domaine." www.chateau-cheval-blanc.com
