Why We're Buying
Domaine de Chevalier lives up to the exceptions of its classification (Grand Cru Classé de Graves). The Bordeaux red blend is intense and tannic with massive berry flavors and a generous mouthfeel. This wine, which retails around $100, has made numerous appearances on Wine Spectator’s list of the Top 100 Wines.

A gem that readers should snatch up is unquestionably the 2017 Domaine De Chevalier, which is based on 55 Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 Merlot, and 5 Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in just 35 new French oak. This deeply colored effort offers classic blackberry and blackcurrant fruits as well as medium to full body, complex notes of tobacco, gravelly earth, and chocolate, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This is a classy, flawlessly balanced 2017 that offers up pleasure even today, yet it will keep for 30+ years. Having just had the good fortune to drink a bottle of the 1920, now at 100 years after the vintage, the longevity of this cuvée should not be underestimated.
