- Producer Notes
- The Domaine de Chevalier located in Léognan, the Capital town of the Graves Region has a long history. It appears on the famous map of Pierre de Belleyme in 1783. In 1983 the estate was purchased by the Bernard Family, N° 1 in France on the spirits market and a major negociant of premium Bordeaux wines. It has been run ever since by Olivier Bernard who perpetuates that spirit of balance and the constant drive for perfection which have been the hallmark of this outstanding wine. The white Domaine de Chevalier is recognized as one of the world’s finest dry wines.

2004 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2005
(2005) Quite a pale, straw/gold flecked with green. The nose is quite powerful, with skin-contact notes of pear-skin and wax, and a certain richness. Some minerality too, and powerful pear fruit. Quite a mouthfilling texture, and an initial attack of lemony fruit. Underripe apple and cool melon notes on the mid-palate, with emerging spice and a gentle toastiness into the finish. Good concentration and intensity here.

Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2004 vintage for Bordeaux was relatively good.
The growing season began with a pleasantly mild spring, which was ideal for both budburst and flowering. The balmy conditions inevitably spurred vegetative growth and producers had to be careful when it came to managing ...
