Chevalier du Grand Robert Haut Medoc French Red Wine

Chevalier du Grand Robert Haut-Medoc is a red from Bordeaux, in France. Look first at how the small crowd received it: 3 ratings put it at 2.33, on a five-point scale, which sits well below the 4.71 median across the wines that carry shopper ratings. The label points to Haut-Medoc, but our regional research reaches only the broader Bordeaux level: it gives the general area and the region's Atlantic weather, and a Bordeaux name on its own cannot tell you the riverbank or the village. The brand's own product page for this bottle lists the blend: 85 percent Merlot, 13 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 percent Petit Verdot, from the 2020 vintage. In our September 2026 checks it was priced as low as $21.99.

If you are choosing in the aisle, that low score from just 3 shoppers is the honest thing to weigh against the blend and region above. The price offers a second fact to weigh: our September 2026 checks put the top of its range at $25.88. Beyond the distributor Executive Beverage, which names Chevalier du Grand Robert in its national brand portfolio, the brand's own product page for this bottle names a winery of record, Bordeaux Families, and supplies the blend detailed above.

That listing puts the finished wine at 13 percent alcohol, fully dry with no residual sugar and 5.05 grams per litre of acidity. Its tasting notes describe “ripe, red fruits and discreet smoke on the nose, black currant and cherry on the palate, and a complex, well-structured finish,” the brand's words. The same page cites a 92-point score from JustWinePoints and a Silver Medal, “Highly Recommended” rating from Tastings.com, both claims made on the brand's own page and not independently confirmed here.

Our call: buy it if a confirmed Bordeaux blend, a named winery of record and stated technical numbers carry weight with you; the brand's own page names the Merlot-led blend, credits the wine to a winery it calls Bordeaux Families, and lists the alcohol and two competition scores. Pass if the shopper score matters more; the rating here sits well below the median of the wines we track, from a small early count, and those competition scores are cited only on the brand's own page, not independently confirmed.
