The fact that they have retained the ‘domaine’ designation (more Burgundian) rather than ‘chateau’ also hints at the overall ethos of the place. The Bernard family refer to it as a ‘secret garden.’ We could hardly call the wines secrets anymore, but in the context of modern-day Bordeaux, they are definitely an insider’s choice. The combination of the surrounding trees and classically gravelly Graves soil provide for a cool environment conducive to lifted wines with an elegant, pronounced mineral character and intoxicating aromatic expression that can rival even the best of Margaux. The reds are generally 60-70% Cabernet with the rest Merlot and a small percentage of Petit Verdot \u0026amp; Cab Franc. Simply put, if you are a fan of poised Bordeaux more focused on finesse than sheer power then these are wines that would be a good fit for you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joanne US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47363778806008,"sku":"18913","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_2666.jpg?v=1762630182"},{"product_id":"2021-domaine-de-chevalier-blanc-cru-classe-pessac-leognan","title":"2021 Domaine de Chevalier, Grand Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan Blanc","description":"The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, a distinguished Cru Classé de Graves, is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, masterfully showcasing the unique character of a vintage celebrated for its vibrant white wines.
