The Domaine de Chevalier vineyard stretches across clay-gravel soils, typical of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. These well-drained soils promote optimal grape ripening, resulting in intense aromas and excellent concentration. The estate benefits from an oceanic climate, with maritime influences that moderate temperatures, creating an ideal environment for viticulture. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are cultivated with meticulous care to guarantee exceptional quality in every vintage.

Owner and history

Domaine de Chevalier is currently managed by the Bernard family, who have preserved the estate's heritage and identity while modernizing it. Their passion for winemaking and commitment to environmentally responsible practices are reflected in every bottle. The owners have invested in innovative techniques while honoring traditional know-how, allowing the estate to rise to the ranks of Bordeaux's elite. Their vision is clear: to produce wines that express the very essence of their terroir.

Vinification and aging

The Domaine de Chevalier white 2017 is crafted with meticulous care. The grapes are harvested by hand, allowing for rigorous selection. After gentle pressing, the juice is cold-settled before being transferred to oak barrels for fermentation, some of which take place in new oak. Aging lasts approximately 10 months, with regular lees stirring that adds complexity and roundness to the wine. This traditional method, combined with modern expertise, results in a wine of great elegance and a beautiful, lingering finish.
