According to manager Remi Edange, Domaine de Chevalier began the harvest for white grapes on September 6 but brought in the reds late. "We finished on October 6; we needed to pick on that last Saturday because the remaining fruit was starting to rot." There are now three different sortings at Domaine de Chevalier: one in the vines and the other two before and after the fruit is destemmed. As at so many other Bordeaux properties, vinification is done in smaller cuves, thus allowing the estate to harvest with greater precision.

Domaine de Chevalier picked its red grapes late, bringing in the merlot during the last week of September and the cabernet sauvignon between October 5 and 10. The modest rain that fell on September 21 helped to increase the grape sugars, noted assistant manager Remi Edange, and the cabernet ultimately reached the 12%-12.3% range, high for this estate. The vinification was long and soft, said Edange. Edange mentioned that Domaine de Chevalier has eliminated some excessively vigorous cabernet vines that he says were largely responsible for the dryness found in a few recent vintages of the estate red wine.

The white grapes, harvested during the first 12 days of September, were high in sugar yet managed to retain firm acidity, the sauvignon blanc being especially powerful, said assistant manager Remi Edange. The red grapes, picked from September 21 to October 10, were also higher in sugar than those of the previous year, but slightly lower in polyphenols. Following a severe green harvest, the yield was just 40 hectoliters per hectare, said Edange, who noted that there was little juice in the small berries.
