Description

Domaine de Chevalier is a legendary Grand Cru Classé estate located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux and is renowned for producing both exceptional red and world-class white wines.  The winery's 67 hectares of vineyards are completely enclosed in a singular, vast block surrounded by a protective forest. This unique microclimate insulates the vines from temperature extremes and encourages rich biodiversity.

The estate’s history stretches back to the 17th century when it was known as "Chivaley" (meaning "knight" in old Gascon). In 1983, the estate was purchased by the Bernard family, prominent Bordeaux négociants and spirits traders. A 23-year-old Olivier Bernard was placed at the helm. Over the course of four decades, Olivier transformed the property through meticulous vineyard mapping, expanding production, building state-of-the-art modern vat rooms, and perfecting a style focused on refinement over raw power. Today, his sons Adrien and Hugo continue to drive the estate's pursuit of elegance and sustainability

Tasting Notes

The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier is full of promise, bursting with aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with loamy soil, bay leaf, licorice, potpourri and spices. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, its velvety attack segues into a lively, layered core, concluding with a long, nicely defined finish. Olivier Bernard doesn't think that this will surpass his 2018, but I tend to disagree.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate 93-95 Pts

Inky purple in colour, powerful aromatics. Chevalier is often an estate to turn to in challenging vintages, and is proving its mettle here. This is another league from much of 2021, extremely impressive in quality. Clove, saffron, turmeric, leather, complex layers of flavour that unroll slowly and get a sense of momentum building. The fingerprint of 2021 comes through in the savoury black fruits and austere tannins that need more filling out over ageing, but this is exceptional. 30hl/h yield.
