Description

The two families Mähler-Besse and Sichel have, through exceptional vintages over decades, significantly contributed to the international renown of the winery. Today, Château Palmer is considered one of the leading Grand Crus of the famous Margaux appellation. Complex wines are produced here – elegant, refined, delicate, with a subtle and velvety texture. They magnificently express the extraordinary terroir of the vineyards with their sparse gravel soils. Château Palmer began converting to sustainable viticulture in 2008 and, despite the significant climatic challenges of recent years, impresses with wines of world-class standard.

Domaine de Chevalier

Domaine de Chevalier is one of the top Grands Crus Classés in Pessac-Léognan. South of Bordeaux, it lies like a secret garden in a picturesque, secluded clearing in the woods.

Olivier Bernard, who was elected president of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux at the end of 2012, invested carefully in his first estate in Bordeaux. Domaine de Chevalier became a fascinating combination of traditional Graves winemaking approaches and state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology.

For example, in 2015 this estate was one of the first major Bordeaux houses to use DIAM cork closures instead of conventional corks. These closures lead to fewer faults and help prevent premature oxidation. The Domaine’s white wines also therefore promise excellent ageing potential.

Olivier Bernard has ambitious plans for Domaine de Chevalier while making it clear that he wants to remain faithful to the regional character of his classic Pessac-Léognan wines and rejects speculative pricing.

The renowned Saint-Émilion consultant and winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt has also been brought in as advisor to the estate, promising further great vintages for this top producer.
