Dom. de Chevalier Grand Cru Classé Graves Red Wine, 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The modern history of Domaine de Chevalier starts in 1983 when Olivier Bernard took over the estate. Located within a forest clearing on gently sloping land, the 35 hectares of vineyards, which are farmed using biodynamic methods, have 80% allocated to red wine production - with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot the most planted grape varieties - and the remaining 5 hectares are planted with white grapes – 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon. Uniquely, this is one of few estates in Pessac-Leognan with Cru Classe de Graves status for both their red- and their white wines. The red wine is highly regarded as one of the best Cru Classe's of Pessac, and the white wine is truly one of the very best in all of Bordeaux. The Bernard family are still in charge of the estate today, and superstar oenologist, Stephane Derenoncourt, consults. The blend of grape varieties varies a little with fruit ripeness and vintage. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
