The 1992 vintage in Bordeaux: You don't choose your birth vintage

1992 is really not a good vintage for Bordeaux wines. As is often the case in times of difficulty, it is wise to fall back on the best estates and the wines of Graves. This Domaine de Chevalier obtains an honest 85 Parker points, with an average concentration it will offer you a pleasant wine with typical notes of cedar, blackcurrant and sour cherry.

Exceptional provenance: These bottles come from a cellar of a great Swiss enthusiast and collector. We have acquired the complete collection containing more than 200 bottles of mainly French and Italian wines. The bottles were all preserved following their purchase en primeur or shortly after their marketing on site, in a natural cellar buried under a 16th century convent. A damp cellar, which is why some labels are very worn. The levels are generally excellent or perfect and the most "fragile" bottles demonstrate storage in total darkness for more than 30 years!
