Domaine de Chevalier is located in Pessac-Léognan , a sub-region of the Graves appellation in Bordeaux. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé of Graves . Domaine de Chevalier has the distinction of having retained its title of "domaine", more common in Burgundy than in Bordeaux. In 1983, the estate came under its current ownership when it was purchased 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.
