Wine Spectator: The Riddle of Domaine de Chevalier, by Mitch Frank

The "Riddle of Domaine de Chevalier" 

Many thanks to the Wine Spectator for this great article, by Mitch FRANK (Issue Nov.15, 2013).

Mitch spent long time with us last spring. He took the time to meet Chevalier, to understand the soul of the site and the men of the estate. He tells the past story, but mainly the thirty past years, since Olivier's arrival at the helm of the domaine. 
The report is beautifully illustrated with pictures of Clay McLachlan and Jean-Pierre Lamarque.
