Fun Facts:  Domaine de Chevalier dates back to 1900, but the current owners didn’t purchase the property until 1983.  It’s a certified biodynamic farming vineyard, which is rare to see in Bordeaux and its white wines are even higher prized than their red wines.  This wine is phenomenal and it retails for only 1/4 of the price of their Grand Cru white.
