Pessac Leognan Domaine De Chevalier Rouge, Grand Cru Classé 2018 pinot-grigio With more complexity and fleshThis much respected property in Pessac Lognan is run with great care by Olivier Bernard whose family took it over from Claude Ricard in 1983. During the 1980s and 1990s there was a major programme of replanting here and it is only since the early 2000's, with the vines reaching maturity, that the quality here has returned to that of the great vintages of the 1960s and before. Without doubt, the best vintages of Chevalier are the most recent ones.
