Producer Information

Domaine de Chevalier is a highly-regarded wine estate in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of the Graves region just south of Bordeaux city. It was classified a Grand Cru Classé de Graves in 1959 for both its red (a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend) and white (a classic white Bordeaux Blend) wines. The estate has around 60 hectares (148 acres) under vine on gravel- and clay-rich soils, with most of that dedicated to the red grape varieties. While Cabernet Sauvignon makes up the bulk of red plantings (63 percent), there is also Merlot (30 percent) as well as two percent Cabernet Franc and five percent Petit Verdot. White plantings are almost three quarters (70 percent) Sauvignon Blanc and 30 percent Semillon. Grapes are harvested by hand and vinified in lots to ensure the best possible wine – Domaine de Chevalier has a reputation for making good wines even in average vintages. Barrel-aging is for up to 18 months with 35 percent new french oak.
