Domaine de Chevalier makes some of the most revered red and white wines in Pessac-Léognan. The vineyards sit on gentle slopes within a forest clearing and are carefully managed using biodynamic farming principles. At nearly 40 years old, the 1982 vintage is perfectly mature. The wine has a complex nose, with notes of forest floor, smoke, tobacco, cedar, dried flowers and mushrooms. The palate carries hints of leather, spices and black pepper, all of which is neatly integrated.
