DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER 1993
Domaine de Chevalier is located in Pessac-Léognan , a sub-region of the Graves appellation in Bordeaux. It is classified Grand Cru Classé de Graves . The Domaine de Chevalier has the particularity of having retained its title of “domaine”, more common in Burgundy than in Bordeaux. In 1983, the estate passed under its current ownership when it was bought by the Bernard family , who renovated the winery and expanded the vineyard. The estate has approximately 45 hectares of vines on soils rich in gravel and clay, most of which are devoted to red grape varieties.
The 1993 vintage for Bordeaux was complicated. A wet spring developed into a hot summer, however, September and October brought heavy showers. Many wines have suffered from dilution but the best can still drink well now.
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
