Rich and brimming with blackberries, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35%
Merlot, is silky smooth and incredibly concentrated with dense black cherry
flavours on a creamy and sophisticated palate. This immense second wine
is very serious indeed.

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.

Domaine de Chevalier always seems to know how to please. The 2008 has a
fantastic, opulent nose of liquid blackcurrants and a concentrated, intense
palate of dark cassis fruit but with that lovely freshness indicative of the
vintage. This is a wine with plenty of flesh on its bones, but one which
combines power with grace and balance. Ripe, grainy tannins and a savoury,
mineral finish complete this very rewarding wine.

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.

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.

I fell in love with this, not only from barrel 3 years ago, but last autumn
when in bottle. Sensational wine, I bought 3 cases in different sizes. Lovely
contrast to St Juliens, Pauillacs. The best wines of 2005 show an irrepressible
energy and as soon as the aromatics of the Chevalier hit you, you can feel the
vigour in the rich intoxicating black fruit and the minerally, gravelly
overtones that only great Graves can offer. The seemingly endless finish and
perfect harmony of this wine, combined with the firm yet supple tannins,
immensely concentrated fruit and life-giving acidity look set to make this a
legendary Dom. de Chevalier.

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.

One of the few properties in the Graves to produce both first class red and
white wines, Domaine de Chevalier is that rare breed of Bordeaux estate where
quality goes in hand with reliability – year in, year out.
Chevalier’s superb 1989 vintage is plump and forward, merging sweet
cherry and blackcurrant aromas with a delicious hint of herbs and fleshy fruit.
Silky, smooth and supremely intergrated, this is most certainly a wine to
