🏛️ The Producer

Set in a leafy corner of Pessac-Léognan south of Bordeaux, Domaine de Chevalier has been owned by the Bernard family since 1983. The estate oversees 45 hectares of vineyards, with 40 hectares planted to red varieties and 5 hectares to white varieties. Its identity is rooted in a mosaic of black sand, fine white gravel and well-drained clay-gravel soils, guided by Olivier Bernard’s belief that great wine begins with great terroir. Meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar shapes its Cabernet Sauvignon-led reds, known for aromatic complexity, silky tannins and ageing potential. Its Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon whites combine delicate fruit and floral aromas with generous texture, freshness and a persistent mineral finish.
