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
