Silky fruit leads in this 2024 Domaine de Chevalier, with ripe plum, blackcurrant and a touch of blue-toned berries layered over cedar, tobacco leaf and dark chocolate nuances. The palate is medium to medium-full in weight, lively with juicy acidity and fine, chalky tannins that give a crunchy, sapid finish rather than sheer power, capturing a more classical, quietly elegant side of the estate in this lighter vintage. It’s not as monumental as recent years, but it has real charm, balance and clear Pessac-Léognan character.

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.
