白馬堡位在St-Emilion區，但與Pomerol區的L’Evangile和La Conseillante堡僅有一條小路之隔，所釀之酒較有Pomerol區的風格，與本區的Ausone歐頌堡並列為聖艾美濃區的二寶。白馬堡有別於一般以Cabernet Sauvignon卡本內．蘇維翁品種為主的波爾多名廠，她反而是選擇了配角Cabernet Franc卡本內．弗蘭擔任調配的主原料，至今尚未有一家酒廠有這樣的創舉。奇妙的是這個原本色淺、早熟、單寧薄的Cabernet Franc卻在白馬堡發揮它最大的本事，讓一款又可年輕時享用，經過十年的陳年，酒體未老反而更集中，更有多層次的香氣與口感。礦物、異國香料、煙草香以及超熟的黑水果香是白馬堡的特色，她的與眾不同，就是最大的特色。
WA:96 Drink:2003 - 2016
This was consistently a perfect wine early in its life but seems to be going through a stage where the tannins are more present, and the extraordinarily exotic opulence the wine had young, while still present, is not as dominant a characteristic. Nevertheless, there is plenty to admire in this full-bodied, very lush Cheval Blanc that has reached full maturity. Sweet notes of red and black fruits intermixed with licorice, spice box, and incense jump from the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered, very rich, and seems to develop interesting nuances the more it sits in the glass, and then suddenly take a dive. A very fascinating Cheval Blanc, and certainly the greatest Cheval Blanc after the 1964 and before the 1990.
