About The Producer

The producer

Domaine de Chevalier

Olivier Bernard was just 23 years old when he was handed the reins at Domaine de Chevalier in 1983. The Bernard family, better known for producing brandy and its Bordeaux négociant business, bought the estate from Claude Ricard, whose family had owned the property since the mid-19th century. Under their stewardship, it was included in the Graves classification of 1953 and the Bernard's have cemented Domaine de Chevalier's reputation as one of region's finest red and white wine producers. Expect sophistication and elegance.
