Domaine de Chevalier is a prestigious wine property in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of the Graves region. Founded in 1770, it was ranked among the Crus Classés for red and white wine in the Classification of Graves wine of 1953 and 1959. This release is the estate’s flagship wine from 1995 - a successful vintage across Bordeaux, with a number of well-structured wines.

Vinous
The 1995 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge is a good but perhaps not great wine from Olivier Bernard. Now at 23-years of age, it remains surprisingly backward, almost sultry on the nose, whereby the oak feels a little too prominent for its age. The palate offers dense red and black fruit tinged with hickory that becomes pronounced with aeration. Firm in grip, it has a rather hard and atypically charmless finish that in this instance is shown up by its 1989 counterpart. Give this another three or four years if you can.Neal Martin1st August 2018
