Domaine de Chevalier 2020

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 colour 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 flavour, 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.

Bouquet complexe, aux nombreuses facettes. Il allie parfaitement l’élevage et la fraîcheur fruitée. Nuances de caramel, de cerises et de prunes. Attaque élégante, friande et rafraîchissante. Le palais est frais, équilibré et doté de tannins fins mais musclés et vifs, en phase avec la structure acide. Un vin authentique, racé avec un excellent potentiel de garde. Finale saline aux amers soutenant idéalement la persistante fruitée. 2027-2050.
