Dark, polished fruit glides through Domaine de Chevalier 2018, with layers of blackcurrant, cherry and a touch of cocoa and tobacco set against a cool, earthy graphite edge. The texture is silky yet firmly structured, carrying all that perfume and depth in a long, composed finish that clearly marks this as one of the standouts of the vintage. Give it air or time and it blossoms into something both deeply refined and quietly powerful.

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.
