2025 Chateau Domaine de Chevalier - Pessac (750ml) [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]

Domaine de Chevalier, drive for perfection

The origins of Domaine de Chevalier date back to 1783. Located in Léognan, the capital of the Graves region, the estate was acquired in 1983 by the Bernard family—France’s leading producer of spirits and a major Bordeaux wine merchant. Since then, it has been managed by Olivier Bernard and his dedicated team. Under his leadership, the estate has upheld a tradition of balance and a relentless pursuit of perfection that has defined this exceptional Grand Cru for over 140 years. Domaine de Chevalier red is one of the flagship Classified Growths of Bordeaux.

The 2025 vintage : 

This 2025 vintage of Domaine de Chevalier unquestionably stands among the great vintages of the past decade. Its style conveys great class and refinement, set within a framework of remarkable freshness.

Indeed, the various grape varieties that compose the blend — Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot — achieved full ripeness without excess, contributing decisively to this sense of freshness. Excellent climatic conditions allowed for very precisely timed harvest dates and ensured impeccable sanitary quality. Vinifications were precise and carefully adapted.

Tasting notes:

On the nose, fresh red and black fruits intertwine with empyreumatic and spicy notes characteristic of the terroir. The expression and intensity of this bouquet are highly promising.

On the palate, a velvety, fleshy and delicate texture, intensely driven by fruit, envelops a tannic framework whose density, finesse and elegance are reminiscent of silk. The superb maturity of the tannins brings great suppleness to this fresh yet dense structure, already delivering intense and rare pleasure at this stage.

A finish of great class. A great wine.
