Medium-bodied, the palate is full of fruit with soft, round tannins and a lively finish. " (Wine Advocate 2020).

Rated estate (2021 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About the estate:
This is a property that is admired by all, boasting a superb vineyard in a single block surrounding the château, one of the best cultivated in the Bordeaux region. Olivier Bernard is a tireless ambassador for Bordeaux wines around the world. He is also one of those who knows the value of their product most intimately, thanks to daily tastings with the countless visitors to the estate, a pioneer in welcoming the public. The whites are the most distinguished in the commune, the reds are models of Bordeaux classicism in their proportions and flavor. The latest reds are very impressive for their extra body and complexity. Beautiful nuances, tension, and energy for the white esprit-de-chevalier, which is the perfect reflection of a great wine. The 2016, 2017, and 2018 reds and whites are simply at their peak, and the estate richly deserves its 5-star rating.

About wine:
The 2017 Domaine de Chevalier has a deep garnet purple color with a nose of baked plums, black cherry compote, fruitcake, and violet, as well as earthy and rosehip tea aromas. Medium-bodied, the palate is full of fruit with soft, round tannins and a lively finish. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, this vintage spent 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% of which were new.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 94/100
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
The red wine is classic, well-structured and complex on the palate, with a lovely smoky finish.
About the estate:
Since 1983, the Bernard family has been doing everything possible to keep this beautiful estate at the forefront of the appellation. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and a vineyard that has now reached the age necessary to produce great grapes, the wines are impeccable, both white and red. The vineyard, located in one of the coolest areas of the appellation, on the edge of the Landes forest, is maintained like a garden. The white grapes are sorted with extreme care and their vinification has become considerably more sophisticated, without altering the style or class of this highly reputed wine. Chevalier embodies finesse and elegance, without compromising its aging potential.

About wine:
Lots of aromas of blueberry, warm stone, slate, and walnut. Terracotta too. Iodine notes. Full-bodied, round, and dense with layers of fine tannins. Beautiful depth and intensity. Extremely long and concentrated. Needs three or four years of bottle aging before drinking. Try after 2024.
