Domaine de Chevalier is located in a clearing in the middle of a forest that protects the vines from extremes of temperature. In fact, Chevalier is a sort of secret garden, far from the limelight. This is something of a paradox for such an excellent wine, among the greatest in Bordeaux. The 2021 shows the vintage's combination of concentration and freshness beautifully. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend with its signature cassis and cedar, while Merlot adds flesh and early charm.
