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.

The 2018 Domaine De Chevalier is a beauty. Based on 65 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in 35 new French oak, it has a beautiful sense of elegance and purity, which is very much in the style of the vintage as well as the domaine. Blackcurrants, black cherries, cold fireplace, damp earth, tobacco, and chocolate are just some of the nuances here, and this complex, medium to full-bodied 2018 has gorgeous tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. It has suppleness in its texture that allows it to offer pleasure even today, yet given its balance as well as purity, it deserves 5-7 years of bottle age and will keep for 30+ years. It is another brilliant wine from the team of Olivier Bernard.
