Domaine De Chevalier

Domaine de Chevalier is an 85-acre estate outside of Leognan, in France’s Bordeaux region. The estate dates to the 18th century and is today owned by Olivier Bernard. Though its overall production is relatively small at a total of about 200,000 bottles annually, it makes both red and white wines. Domaine de Chevalier is the flagship red wine and L’Esprit de Chevalier is the second red. Also produced are white wines of the same name. The whites are 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon. The reds are 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that Domaine de Chevalier “is a true connoisseur’s wine. The production is tiny and the wines are among the most highly sought of Pessac-Leognan, but most important, the quality can be impeccably high.”
