Domaine de Chevalier 2020

Red wine | Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Léognan AC

More than a Château, an Estate!
Deep and aromatic red wine, with lots of personality, promising great evolution. But why ''Domaine'', rather than ''Château''? Unusual in Bordeaux, this term refers to a time when people lived on a large estate, between outbuildings, woods, and varied agricultural land. Today it still signals a global vision, which goes beyond the vineyard, but which is at its service!

    Lisa Perotti-Brown
    Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Domaine de Chevalier comes skipping out of the glass with energetic scents of ripe red and black currants, fresh blackberries and boysenberries, plus nuances of wild sage, cloves and cedar with a waft of lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate surprises and delights with an unexpected richness and depth that remains locked away on the nose, revealing layers of fragrant earth and floral notions framed by fantastic freshness and firm, finely grained tannins, finishing with the most gorgeous, long -lingering perfume.

    Dark Purple color with violet hue and black core. Exquisite and powerful nose, aroma reminiscent of blackcurrant, sweet elderberries, boysenberries, hints of vanilla and freshly ground Vietnamese pepper, dark chocolate and elegant toasting touches. On the palate great elegance and precision, pleasant freshness, silky tannins and discreet toasting flavor, backed by juicy berries and ripe plums, mild spices and a hint of pepper. Another great vintage at Domaine de Chevalier.

    Iron, black mushroom and dark berry with some burnt orange peel. Flowers, too. It's full-bodied with round tannins that turn linear and tight at the end. Excellent energy. Brightness and purity.

    Yves Beck
    Complex bouquet, with many facets. It perfectly combines aging and fruity freshness. Shades of caramel, cherries and plums. Elegant, delicious and refreshing attack. The palate is fresh, balanced and endowed with fine but muscular and lively tannins, in phase with the acid structure. An authentic, distinguished wine with excellent aging potential. Saline finish with bitters ideally supporting the fruity persistence. 2027-2050.
