Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Domaine de Chevalier was tasted from two bottles. I returned the first as it felt a little volatile on the nose, but the second was as it should be. This has a very refined bouquet with scents of warm gravel and black olives permeating the dark berry fruit, all very well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very fresh and generous in the mouth with superb mineralité and tension towards the tertiary finish. What a lovely Domaine de Chevalier—à point—but with the substance to suggest that it will not go downhill in any hurry. Tasted February 2017.

This is surprisingly soft and open now with Indian spices, berries and sweet tobacco. It's full and round with melted and round tannins. Perfect with Korean barbecue.

Sattes, dichtes Purpur-Rubin. Warmes, duftiges Bouquet, Amarenakirschen, reife Walderdbeeren, dezent rahmig, mitteldunkle Röstnoten, Milchschokolade. Stoffiger Gaumen, frisch gepflückte rote Beeren, Kirschen, schön ausgelegt, die intensive Frucht zieht sich bis zum Schluss durch. Somit ein sehr fruchtiger Domaine de Chevalier der jung und dann gut 20 Jahre lang Freude machen wird. Wenn er sein vernünftiges Preisniveau behält ist das wie schon viele Jahre lang ein unterschätzter Weinwert. trinken (2012 - 2022)

Good concentration of blackberry and raspberry fruit. Medium-to-full body, velvety tannins and a medium finish. Very close to the 2006 in quality. Score range: 88-91 ?JS
