"Domaine de Chevalier is a property on form, and one that remains under the
radar; it offers exceptional value for money. This beautifully pure 2006 has
the charm and fresh acidity that the best 2006s show, underpinned with a firm
and unforced tannic structure. This is very well made indeed." Drink
2012-2025.

Ripe fruit and hints of tobacco hit the nose before you discover the palate
has well-balanced acidity and silky tannins. Theres a good concentration a
blackberries and earthiness with a slight hint of liquorice. As with the
estates white, the finish goes on and on. This is one for the traditional
Bordeaux lover.

Olivier Bernard has cleverly managed the weather in 2004, crafting two of the
wines of the vintage: Domaine de Chevalier's Rouge and Blanc. Reducing his crop
by rigorous green harvesting and later removing leaves to expose the grapes to
the Indian summer's sun, he provided winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt (of La
Mondotte, Canon-la-Gaffelière and Pavie Macquin fame) the perfect ingredient
with which to work. The red exhibits intoxicating Graves minerality and terroir
with a ripe black fruit core. The very long finish suggests that a little
patience will be required for this wine, but it undoubtedly rivals wines at
four times its price. Drink 2011-2030. BBR Score 17.5/20

Owner Olivier Bernard's attitude to nature and wine, working the soil naturally
and respecting the terroir and the style of the vintage, makes him a Burgundian
at heart according to Jasper Morris MW, which is praise indeed. 2006 was a
Cabernet vintage in Pessac, according to Olivier, and the extra Cabernet in his
blend (67% CS and 4% CF) has made his 2006 more structured than usual. It has
an exotic, creamy blackberry nose, a wonderful harmony and structure, and a
lovely concentration of pure, minerally cassis fruit with coffee hints. This is
another tour de force of outstanding quality. Drink: 2012-2025.

No wonder Olivier Bernard was beaming. His 2007 is the latest in a line of
stunning vintages which, apart from the amazing 2005, is his best wine since
2000. A brooding, spicy, damson nose leads on to a dense palate with
blackberry, crushed cassis, tobacco and leather with a long, pure finish. The
balanced, mouth-filling fruit is cloaked in velvety but significant tannins
(higher than 2005) bestowing the wine with a fine, masculine, early-drinking
style. Fantastic in the context of any vintage, and not far off the quality of
Haut-Brion, this is an essential buy for any Claret-lover this year.

The dark ruby-colored 1989 is a plump, forward style of Domaine de Chevalier.
The wine displays smoky toasty oak that is better integrated than in more
recent vintages. A smoky, herb-tinged, sweet cherry and black currant-scented
nose is followed by a medium-bodied wine with low acidity, ripe, fleshy fruit,
moderate tannin, and a nice finish.
