Lifted dark berries, plum and cedar glide through Domaine de Chevalier 2016, wrapped in cool earth and a subtle, stony bite that gives the wine real poise and backbone. On the palate it feels deep yet graceful, with pure, concentrated fruit threaded through fine, persistent tannins that promise a long, harmonious evolution in bottle. This vintage stands out for its combination of classical structure and extra mid‑palate richness, making it both intellectual and quietly seductive once it opens up.

Domaine de Chevalier is the grand vin of this historic Pessac-Léognan estate, produced both as a Cabernet Sauvignon–led red and a Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon dry white, each classified among the Crus Classés de Graves. The red is known for its refined structure, dark fruit, tobacco and graphite nuances, and remarkable capacity to age, while the white is celebrated as one of Bordeaux’s finest dry whites, combining intense fruit, smoky–minerally complexity, and vibrant freshness that reflects its forest-surrounded gravel terroir in Léognan.
