Wine Information

Domaine de Chevalier
Grand Cru Classé de Graves


The Domaine de Chevalier, located in Léognan, the capital town of the Graves region, has a long history. It appears on the map drawn in 1763 under the name of “Chibaley” (meaning knight, in the Gascon language).

Domaine de Chevalier 2009 / Decanted two hours. Intense, dark, purple colour. Wonderfully sweet and concentrated, powerful nose with aromas of ripe cherry, blackcurrant and vanilla. It is lush and cedary with earthy flavours and little notes of incense and violets. Not a super concentrated wine but one with impressively sweet fruit beautifully balanced by fine tannins. Already elegant and harmonious. The palate is well structured and full with lovely smooth tannins and nice, dark earthiness under the sweet fruit. A great wine with hot and long aftertaste. Built for development.
