The harvest was carried out late at Cheval Blanc, and in the end took three and a half weeks, with the cabernet franc coming in at the beginning of October. "The long maturation favored the cabernet franc," according to estate manager Pierre Lurton, who said that the merlot was less elegant and less precise. All the fruit from sandy soil went into the estate's second wine, Le Petit Cheval, as it was swelled by rain. "With its freshness of fruit but rather low acidity, it's hard to compare the 2007 Cheval to a past vintage," noted Lurton.
