Written Notes

Domaine de Chevalier – splendid fruit and acidity, silky fruit and tannin, great complexity and long finish. 95+p.
  • 95p
Dark purple red with violet hue and black core. Opulent yet elegant nose with distinct berry fruit, blackberries, mulberries, elderberries, balanced oak aroma, discreet spiciness and hints of minerality. On the palate well structured with multi-layered character, full-bodied yet elegant, excellent length.

Medium deep colour. Intense expresso, mocha blackcurrant aromas with cedar complexity. Supple and creamy with sinuous dark berry, blackcurrant pastille notes, fine looseknit chalky tannins and lovely roasted chestnut vanilla oak. Finishes minerally with long cassis aniseed notes. Very well balanced wine. Heading towards first growth like quality. 96 points

Domaine Chevalier Pessac Leognan Lovely deep purple colour. Nicely composed, complex nose, high toned notes, real class and elegance, lovely cool fruit, this is fine, the sweetness on the palate is exciting. The best wines just have extra layers of silky fruit in the mid-palate. This is a very fine Chevalier, I am feeling it is the best I have ever tasted en primeur! 93-96/100 2025-2050
