{"title":"Domaine De Chevalier","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine de Chevalier is one of the few Graves estates to produce both first class reds and whites. The property was purchased by the Ricard family in 1865 and remained in their hands until it was bought by the Bernard distilling company in 1983. Domaine De Chevalier has 35 hectares of vines and red wine accounts for 80% of the production. Made from a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and then matured in oak barriques (50% new) for 18 months. Domaine de Chevalier is fortunate to have such a fine team to run its affairs. Olivier, whose family business owns the estate, is the outgoing but canny administrator whilst Rémi Edange is hands-on, knowing every vine and every barrel. Whilst their white wines have always been amongst the very finest, the reds were simpler affairs. But from the 1995 vintage onwards greater flair and concentration was in evidence. The quality curve is now further accentuated by the team's bold move to appoint Stéphane Derenoncourt, of La Mondotte fame, as consultant winemaker. Domaine De Chevalier is classified as a Graves Cru Classé.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2008-domaine-de-chevalier-pessac-leognan-bordeaux","title":"2008 Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine de Chevalier always seems to know how to please. The 2008 has a fantastic, opulent nose of liquid blackcurrants and a concentrated, intense palate of dark cassis fruit but with that lovely freshness indicative of the vintage. This is a wine with plenty of flesh on its bones, but one which combines power with grace and balance. Ripe, grainy tannins and a savoury, mineral finish complete this very rewarding wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBerry Bros. \u0026amp; Rudd\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berry Brothers \u0026 Rudd USA - Prod","offers":[{"title":"1 X 750ML","offer_id":46566666567829,"sku":"20081200750008003298","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 X 750ML","offer_id":46566666600597,"sku":"20081200750008003298","price":1139.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/3807\/6821\/files\/20088003298_Domaine-De-Chevalier_Domaine-de-Chevalier-RougePessac-Leognan_2008_01_b7e0e547-b0a2-4f27-b5ba-a08112dd2458.jpg?v=1762186615"},{"product_id":"2010-domaine-de-chevalier-pessac-leognan-bordeaux","title":"2010 Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux","description":"\u003cp style=\"color: #0e101a; background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003eSimply sensational! The 2010 Domaine de Chevalier has absolutely everything I love in a bottle of Bordeaux. It’s almost like a made-to-measure suit; as with a suit that would fit me, this is extremely voluminous and capacious. Fabulous wafts of gently crushed blackberries ooze out of the glass like dry ice; it’s so cool and precise, dense but utterly beguiling. It has firm but ripe-as-you-like tannins with a traffic-stopping finish of several minutes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"color: #0e101a; background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003eFor many years, this excellent estate’s white wine has been number one or two in quality over the whole vintage.
