Benefit auction: winemakers affected by hail in Castillon - Côtes de Bordeaux

Thanks to Stéphane Derenoncourt a great Grands Crus auction will take place in April to help winemakers Castillon - Côtes de Bordeaux. 

Summer is long gone, but we remember that this area of ​​the right bank has been particularly hard hit by the storms of August. Many vineyards were ravaged and  the upcoming harvest destroyed, and for some of them, the next one too.

This event will take place on April 29 at 07.00 pm Hotel Bristol, organized by Christie's

Come :-)

6 bottles of Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 2010

The 2008 EN PRIMEUR CAMPAIGN in BORDEAUX: The SECRET OF SUCCESS...

The 2008 EN PRIMEUR CAMPAIGN in BORDEAUX:

The SECRET OF SUCCESS...

Many Bordeaux châteaux produced extremely great wine in 2008. Although the weather was not very cooperative at the beginning of the growing season, the vintage was saved by a extremely long Indian summer.

On the whole, 2008 will be better than 2007, and the most successful wines can hold their own alongside the finest wines of the decade…

While the quality of the wine is obvious, so is the current serious economic crisis…

In these difficult times, consumers who love great wines are asking themselves a basic question: how much should  these wines cost? 

If the great growths can finally answer this question to the satisfaction of consumers, they will once again have a wonderfull opportunity to buy great wines at a reasonable price, untroubled by speculation.

Will the greatest châteaux have the good sense to sell their wine at a fair price?

I sincerely hope so.

Welcome to Domaine de Chevalier

Few Bordeaux great growths have their own blog.

However, I felt that I would like to share events that have left their mark on Chevalier, and thus my own life…

These events will be regularly photographed, described, analysed, and sometimes even filmed.

I thus cordially invite you to keep abreast of what's happening at Domaine de Chevalier via this blog.
