【Feature】Domaine de Chevalier

Domaine de Chevalier is a very ancient estate, located in Léognan, the capital of the Graves region. It was designated as "Chibaley" (the Gascon word for chevalier) on the 1783 map produced by the royal engineer Pierre de Belleyme. The fact that Chevalier has never abandoned the name of "domaine" in favour of the more recent appellation "château", is proof of the estate's long history.

In 1983, Domaine de Chevalier was acquired by the Bernard family (leading French producers of industrial alcohol and major Bordeaux wine merchants). Since then, the estate has been managed by Olivier Bernard, who perpetuates the spirit of harmony and quest for perfection that has long characterised this superb wine.

Domaine de Chevalier red wine is one of the jewels in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, belonging to the prestigious Bordeaux great growths. Domaine de Chevalier white wine is renowned for being one of the greatest dry white in the world.
