They say that there are very few sorts of wine in the world that are perfect to drink at any age, and Cheval Blanc is one of them.

| Me with Pierre Lurton, Managing Director of Château Cheval Blanc |
It was a perfect summer day to visit Château Cheval Blanc. We were fortunate enough to be given a tour by the courteous maestro and Managing Director, Pierre Lurton. For more than 20 years, Monsieur Lurton has been in charge of producing this magical wine. As we walked the grounds, he poetically presented and described the vineyard and its elegant journey in history.
We were also given a private viewing of the new €13m winery designed by the prize-winning French architect Christian de Portzamparc which opened in June 2011. The winery is very contemporary but perfectly matches the style and architecture of the Château and its environment. All of the architecture of the Château is originally preserved with furniture, works of art, family portraits, silverware and porcelain; it was certainly a voyage back in time.

| The Cellar |
After a small tour of the underground cellar which held hundreds of wooden barrels of wine, we went upstairs on the terrace to admire an amazing view of the entire property to finish this magnificent journey.
