About this wine

The 2009 red from Domaine de Chevalier shows a beautifully perfumed bouquet of red and blackcurrants, embers, cedar, tobacco and graphite. On the palate it is full-bodied yet refined, with sweet, ripe tannins and a savoury, mineral freshness that keeps the wine light on its feet. It’s often cited as a benchmark modern Chevalier, capable of long ageing but already remarkably expressive.

Domaine de Chevalier

Domaine de Chevalier is revered for both its red and white Pessac-Léognan wines, often cited among Bordeaux’s most elegant. Surrounded by forest, the gravelly, cool terroir gives poised, mineral-driven whites and classically framed reds. The philosophy is one of discretion rather than showiness, favouring nuance, refinement and long-term complexity over immediate impact.
