This is the red grand vin of Domaine de Chevalier, which the estate itself calls the flagship of Pessac-Léognan, from the 2000 vintage, so it already has a quarter-century in bottle. The vineyard is a clearing in the middle of a forest in Léognan, the main town of the Graves. The Bernard family treats those woods as protection for the vines and as a home for useful wildlife. The soil is classic Graves: gravel over a clay-gravel subsoil. The vines are planted at 10,000 per hectare, well above the appellation average of 6,500, which tells you how seriously this estate takes its farming. The Bernard family bought Chevalier in 1983, and Olivier Bernard has run it ever since, so this 2000 was made under his watch. It comes from a property already marked on Pierre de Belleyme's 1783 map. If you want to see what classified Left Bank red becomes with real age, this bottle lets you find out without waiting.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, beef Wellington, duck confit with sautéed porcini, or a rib roast with jus. Finish with aged Comté or Mimolette.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Pessac-Léognan profile: Cabernet Sauvignon-led blackcurrant and cedar, with Merlot adding plummy roundness and the appellation's signature smoky, gravelly, tobacco-leaf notes. With long bottle age, wines in this style typically soften into silky, resolved tannins and take on savoury notes of leather and forest floor, held up by fresh acidity and a long, dry finish.
