Domaine de Chevalier is part of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, ranked among the Crus Classés for red and white wine in the Classification of Graves wine of 1953 and 1959. The winery and vineyards are located south of the city of Bordeaux, in the commune of Léognan and is one of a very few Bordeaux estates to be named Domaine instead of Château.
The property was purchased by the Ricard family in 1865 and remained in their hands until it was bought by the Bernard family in 1983. They undertook a long term project to improve the quality which has resulted in considerable improvements in both the vineyard and the winery which is now very much in evidence with the quality of wines produced in recent vintages.
This Grand Vin rouge is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
