The Story

Cuvée Le Fer is Château Cheval Noir's Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, distinct from the regular Saint-Émilion bottling. Its name and character connect to the iron-rich ground beneath the vineyard, with ripe fruit framed by a supple but structured texture.

The Producer

Chateau Cheval Noir wine cellar, Saint-Emilion
Chateau Cheval Noir wine cellar, Saint-Emilion

Château Cheval Noir became the Mähler-Besse family's first estate acquisition in 1937. The Bordeaux house brings together wine production and merchant expertise, and its official product page identifies Le Fer as the château's Grand Cru cuvée.

Place & Terroir

The producer describes old Merlot vines on siliceous soils with an iron-rich base, close to Château Angélus. That precise soil reference is part of Le Fer's identity within Saint-Émilion.

Perfect Pairings

Roast lamb, grilled beef, wild mushrooms or a savoury slow-cooked dish.

Serve around 16–18°C, with air for youthful structured bottles.
