Domaine de Chevalier is renowned for its intense, structured reds that are a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Grand Cru Classé de Graves vintage is an expression of the terroir, with a deep, ruby-purple color, intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, tobacco, and graphite.

Aromas of dark fruit, leather, tobacco, and earthy notes linger on the palate, making this a wine that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
