A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out of the glass with show-stopping scents of wild blueberries, black raspberries, and redcurrant preserves, leading to suggestions of candied violets, cinnamon stick, and fragrant soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is elegantly styled, with bright, nuanced black and red berry...

The Story

The winemaker’s role is to reflect the best the terroir has to offer and to reproduce the intrinsic taste parameters that correspond to Domaine de Chevalier.

Written Notes

Domaine de Chevalier - 65% C. Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% C. Franc and 2% P. Verdot. 14% alcohol. Intense black- and redcurrants, chewy, mineral, concentrated, great depth and length, great complexity, and midpalate. Long and persistent aftertaste. Exceptional effort for the vintage. It’s Olivier Bernards’ 40th vintage here and will be celebrated with a special label (running horse). 98p

Ruby. Scented, blackberries, anise, liquorice, fruit driven nose, floral high notes, a fine minerality beneath, incredibly detailed and elegant nose. 
Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, intense, spicy attack, then fruit and a gorgeous texture, lots of fine tuned extraction, silky, layered, but also firm, this has a gorgeous build up, incredible length. Bravo Domaine de Chevalier.

Wow. This is incredibly structured and powerful with ultra-fine tannins that are tight and layered. It’s full and powerful with carved muscles of tannins. This will need so much time. 98-99

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Excellent nose with very expressive character, aroma reminiscent of juicy dark berries, blackberries, elderberries and blackcurrants, hints of blackcurrant spurs in the background. Sophisticated toasting and fine oak influence contributing to the elegant spiciness. On the palate excellent tannin structure with juicy fruit, mild spices and fine toasting. A wine with great precision and freshness.
