The 2015 Domaine de Chevalier is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. It went through malolactic and aging on its lees during three months in 35% new, 35% one-year-old and 30% two-year-old barrels, with a total aging of 18 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it has lovely spiciness on the nose—Chinese five spice and black pepper—with a core of red and black cherries and smoked meats. Medium-bodied, finely crafted and refreshing, it's quite minerally in the mouth and persistent on the finish.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Dichtes, rotbeeriges Bouquet mit wunderschöner Reifeanzeige. Amarenakirschen, Maulbeeren, eine tolle Tiefenwürze zeigend. Der Gaumen ist stoffig, weist eine tolle Konzentration auf, das Extrakt zeigt eine verführerische Süsse auf, dies bei samtigen Tanninen. Das ist eine äusserst burgundische Variante mit einem nicht unbescheidenen Verführungspotential. Frühe Reife und ein langes Leben. Was will man noch mehr. Leider findet dieses Weingut immer noch nicht die nötige Akzeptanz im Markt. Gut für Käufer! 18/20 2022 – 2044

Offers an open, easy feel. The creamy structure lets juicy plum and raspberry notes flow along and linger on the finish. Almost languid in character, and very suave.—J.M.
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.
