"We prefer to take all of our risks in the vineyard," says Domaine de Chevalier's Deputy Director Rémi Edange. That approach seems to have worked, as the domaine's white and red are both among the top wines of the year. The harvest started on September 15 ended on October 3 for the whites. The Merlot and Petit Verdot followed, with the Cabernets being brought in between October 10-15. This was the first vintage in which the domaine employed an optical sorting table after the destemmer. Gentle pumpovers and no punchdowns were the rule in 2013. The wines are aging in one-third new, fine-grained, light-toast barrels and are full of promise.
