Olivier Bernard began bringing in thoroughly ripe merlot under good conditions on September 12, then harvested his cabernet over a two-and-a-half-week period extending into early October. Grape sugars averaged a half-degree higher than in '94, and the richer grapes were given a longer cuvaison. Taking advantage of his new climate-controlled winemaking facility, Bernard did 25% of the malolactic fermentation in barriques for the first time. The young '95 appears to be a potentially classic Domaine de Chevalier but it was the domaine's white wine that lingered in my mind and on my palate.
