Habe noch selten eine derartig tiefe Farbe bei einem Fassmuster dieses Weingutes gesehen, extrem dichtes Purpur-Lila. Kompaktes, konzentriertes Bouquet, frische Edelhölzer, Schwarzbrot, Kirschen und Maulbeeren. Samtiger, wohl geformter Körper, zeigt jetzt schon viel Charme bei milder Säure und extrem viel Charme in den Tanninen, total schwarzbeerig mit schwarzem Kirschengelée im langen Finale. Gemessen am Image des Jahrganges haben hier Olivier Bernard und Rémy Edange hier eine absolute Meisterleistung vollbracht. Kann sich mit Haut-Brion messen und es wir sehr interessant sein, diese beiden in 10 - und dann nochmals in in 20 Jahren gegenüber zu stellen! warten (2018 - 2045)
Producer
Domaine de Chevalier
A top producer of both reds and whites, the unique Domaine de Chevalier is one of the leading Grand Cru Classés to craft both varieties in the Pessac-Léognan. The property has been owned by the Bernard family since 1983, although their vineyards date as far back as the 1770s. Today the family continues in their quest for quality and balance with the help of the Bernards’ right hand, Rémi Edange. Edange manages the domaine hands-on, he is equally committed to producing the appellation’s best wines. Today, Oliver Bernard, beside Edange and recently appointed head vigneron, Stéphane Derenoncourt make up quite a fine team, producing some of the most sought after Left Bank whites. Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a small production blend, dominated by Sauvignon Blanc with the remaining one fourth Sémillon, the wine is barrel-fermented and aged resulting in a structured and elegant wine. The newest vintages of Domaine de Chevalier Rouge similarly attract attention, and have continued to grow in quality, it is a sophisticated and generous red that delivers a lot for its price.
