Producer

Producer

The Domaine de Chevalier vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, ideal for cultivating noble grape varieties. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are cultivated with meticulous care to respect their natural rhythm. The regional climate, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, imparts a refreshing character and optimal ripeness to the grapes. This harmony between soil, climate, and grape varieties allows for the production of highly complex wines, a true reflection of their terroir.

Owner and history

Currently, Domaine de Chevalier is managed by the Bernard family, who have perpetuated the legacy of excellence and passion for winemaking. Under their leadership, the estate has not only maintained its reputation but has also evolved towards more sustainable viticulture. The owners are committed to respecting the environment while continuing to produce wines that express the quintessence of their terroir. This approach guarantees the quality and authenticity of their wines while ensuring the future of the estate.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Domaine de Chevalier is carried out with the utmost care. The grapes, harvested by hand, are rigorously sorted before being destemmed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats, allowing for precise temperature control. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are renewed annually, for a period of 12 to 18 months. This process gives the wines a fine structure and aromatic complexity, while preserving the pure expression of the terroir.
