Domaine de Chevalier 2019 (75cl)

Domaine de Chevalier sits in a clearing among the woods of Léognan. Its name refers to the old Gascon Chivaley. The Ricard family developed the estate from the nineteenth century, with Claude Ricard playing an important later role. It was recognised as a cru classé de Graves for both red and white wine. In 1983 the Bernard family took over, with Olivier Bernard leading the vineyard and team. The sheltered setting and surrounding woods give it a recognisable place within Pessac-Léognan. The estate keeps the name Domaine, and its history rests on the transition between two families and the people who worked there over several decades.
