Tasting notes
Rosé de Chevalier is vivid and bright. As soon as the wine is opened aromas of red fruit such as cherry is revealed as well as redcurrant and raspberries. The wine is intense. To the mouth, the wine has a nice fruit acidity that gives a fresh sensation. The finish is fruity and complex; it is a wine with beautiful density, an exceptional finesse and a real aging capacity.

Grapes are picked in 3 to 5 waves for optimum ripeness. Traditional cold settling in barrels.

Estate
The Domaine de Chevalier located in Léognan, the Capital town of the Graves Region has a long history. It appears on the famous map of Pierre de Belleyme in 1783. In 1983 the estate was purchased by the Bernard Family, N° 1 in France on the spirits market and a major negociant of premium Bordeaux wines. It has been run ever since by Olivier Bernard who perpetuates that spirit of balance and the constant drive for perfection which have been the hallmark of this outstanding wine.
