Domaine de Chevalier

Rouge 2022

One of the few châteaux in Bordeaux that is equally regarded for both red and white wine, Domaine de Chevalier has gone from strength to strength since the Bernard distilling company purchased this Pessac-Leognan property in 1983. Under the watchful eye of Olivier Bernard (who was only 23 when he took over) the vineyard has doubled in size. For the rouge, the 58 hectares are planted to 63% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 5% petit verdot, and 2% cabernet franc. Stéphane Derenoncourt of La Mondotte came on board as a consultant in 2012 and recent wines have been concentrated, minerally and still very well priced.
