In a few words ...
Located in Léognan, capital of the Graves region, the Chevalier estate has a very long history. It was depicted in 1783 on a map by pierre de belleyme, louis xvi's geographer. In 1983, the estate was acquired by the Bernard family, France's leading brandy producer and a major Bordeaux wine merchant. Since then, it has been managed by olivier bernard and his team. Under his aegis, the spirit of balance and the quest for perfection that has marked the production of this excellent cru for 140 years is perpetuated. Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, the flagship of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, is one of Bordeaux's elite Grands Crus Classés. Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is recognized as one of the world's finest dry white wines. Three vats (stainless steel, beet tulip and wood) to optimize parcel selection, perfect extraction and refine blending. Gravel on clay-gravel subsoil.
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
