Spicy, creamy oatmeal aroma. Rich and savoury on the palate, creamy texture and deep freshness in harmony. Lots of bright citrus at the core of the oatmeal flavour and texture.

Domaine 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 is situated just outside Leognan and consists of 35 hectares of vines. The white wine accounts for only 20% of the production and is typically a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon. The grapes are hand harvested and the juice is then fermented in 100% new oak casks. The wine remains on the lees in cask for 18 months, making it the longest aged, dry white in Bordeaux.
Domaine de Chevalier is classified as a Graves Cru Classe.
