- The estate's principal offering, this wine represents the culmination of careful vineyard management and thoughtful winemaking. A benchmark expression of Pessac-Leognan's terroir.
- The blend achieves a refined equilibrium: Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and elegance, Merlot contributes richness and suppleness, whilst a judicious measure of Petit Verdot adds complexity and ageing potential.
- Domaine de Chevalier practises meticulous micro-parcellary management, harvesting and vinifying each small plot separately to preserve the distinct character of different soil types and aspects.

In the mouth
Rich and silken on the palate, with a supple, voluptuous mid-palate. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without severity. The finish is long and composed, with lingering notes of dark fruit and tobacco leaf.
On the nose
Powerful Cabernet Sauvignon character emerges first: ripe cassis and plum, followed by nuances of fresh leather, graphite and subtle cedar. The bouquet develops with air.
On the eye
Deep, intense garnet red with excellent clarity and depth.
Breeding
Aged in barrels (one-third new oak) for 16 to 18 months.
This wine pairs beautifully with beef fillet, particularly when simply prepared to allow the wine's elegance to shine. It complements Camembert enriched with Calvados, and proves excellent with duck breast canapés. The wine will reward cellaring for a decade or more.
