This chateau started pulling leaves on the east side of the vines in July, then removed the leaves on the west side in August, even at the risk of getting hit by a heat wave and scorching sun, said manager Remi Edange. "We then had the sunniest September since 1961 at Merignac [Bordeaux's airport, located within ten miles of this estate], but not the hottest one." The fruit was harvested slowly, mostly in cool morning conditions, with the final cabernet grapes coming in on October 16 (the harvest for the estate's superb white wine began on September 5 but lasted a full three weeks). Edange told me that the fruit picked in the morning seemed particularly sappy and full of energy. Domaine de Chevalier made use of both the Entropie method and saignee to concentrate the must in 2007.

"When you compare our red wines in 2006 and 2004, the numbers are close and the structures are similar," noted manager Remi Edange, "but 2006 is a more feminine wine, while 2004 is more masculine. We were more sure of the quality at the beginning in 2006 than in 2004." The estate waited until late in both seasons to bring in its cabernet sauvignon-until October 8 in 2006 and October 21 in 2004-but in 2006 the cabernet was all picked in just four or five days, before rot became widespread. Edange said that less than 10% of the fruit was eliminated at the outset, and that some saignee and use of the Entropie method was used to concentrate the must. One of the advantages here is that there has been no replanting in about 15 years: today, according to Edange, about one-third of the vines are 40 years old or more, and another one-third about 30 years of age.

Late harvesting of thoroughly ripe cabernet sauvignon has resulted in the richest red wine in many years at this address. After having made a number of lean, hard wines in the 1990s, Domaine de Chevalier is now practicing more disciplined crop reduction, and with each year the estate's replanted parcels are gaining in maturity. With the advice of the talented winemaking consultant Stephane Derenencourt, Domaine de Chevalier harvested its merlot during the last week of September and picked cabernet sauvignon from October 5 through 17.
