 Constantin Chevalier is a beautiful Provençal house in the Côtes du Luberon in the foothills of Provence. With nearly fifty acres of vines, the situation is ideal for making quality wines. The gravely soil resembles that of the great vineyards of the Rhône valley and the modern wine cellars are housed in thick walled buildings dating back to the sixteenth century; ideal cool conditions for making and maturing wines in this sunny part of France. Château Constantin Chevalier makes classic wines from the South; Provençal in charm, Rhône in style.

The finest cuvées of red and white wine are aged in new oak barrels and awarded the title ‘Cuvée des Fondateurs’ – literally ‘the wine of the founders’. The oak aged wines of Constantin Chevalier are made in very limited quantities and are vinified and matured to improve with age. This prestige cuvée is a selected blend from the best vats, that are aged in Limousin oak barrels for a full year. This is a full, deep, rich wine with great structure and character, and should be left to mature for a few years in the cellar.

The robe is a deep and intense ruby colour with nuances of violet. The nose presents spicy and intense notes of cassis and vanilla. The mouth is dense and full with notes of reglisse graciously cloaked in subtle flavours of oak that give this "vin de garde" a most interesting complexity. The finesse of its tannins are such that it may be enjoyed now, but a few more bottle-months should allow them to reach yet greater splendour.
