Merchant's description

Domaine de Chevalier is an illustrious Grand Cru Classé estate situated in Pessac-Léognan and is highly regarded for their superbly balanced and long-lived red and white wines. From the utterly exceptional 2009 vintage this is an extraordinarily high-quality release composed of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. Though perfectly in its prime drinking window, this should continue to age and improve for at least the next two decades. A timeless classic!
