Punteggi dei critici
19 Rene Gabriel
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)

A spectacular effort, especially for this challenging vintage, Olivier Bernard’s 2011 Domaine de Chevalier boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as a big, sweet bouquet of subtle charcoal, graphite, black currants and black cherries. Rich and full-bodied with a multilayered mouthfeel and a long, complex, stunning finish, this is a profound example of a 2011 from a great terroir. Consume it over the next 20 years. <br/>

This is solidly built, featuring a full-bodied feel from the loam and tar frame, balanced by the depth of the plum, blackberry and fig core. Reveals a smoldering edge through the finish, with an echo of cocoa. Best from 2016 through 2028. –JM

This is a rich wine for the vintage with mineral, raspberry and lemongrass character. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish. Need three or four years to come together.
89 Vinous
The 2011 Domaine de Chevalier feels a little feral on the nose, perhaps with just a touch of brett? Still, attractive in its own way. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite fleshy and rounded, smooth in texture though it is just missing a little complexity and appellation character on the finish. Not bad, though as a big fan of this estate I might have wanted more. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Produttore
Domaine de Chevalier
Produttore di punta sia di vini rossi che bianchi, la straordinaria tenuta Domaine de Chevalier è uno dei più importanti Grand Cru Classé a creare entrambe le varietà nel Pessac-Léognan. La proprietà è della famiglia Bernard dal 1983, anche se i vigneti risalgono addirittura al 1770. Oggi la famiglia continua la ricerca di qualità ed equilibrio con l'aiuto del braccio destro dei Bernard, Rémi Edange, il quale gestisce concretamente la tenuta e s’impegna per produrre i migliori vini della denominazione. Oggi Oliver Bernard, Edange e il recentemente nominato capo vigneron Stéphane Derenoncourt formano una bella squadra, producendo alcuni dei bianchi più ricercati della sponda sinistra. Il Domaine de Chevalier Blanc è un assemblaggio prodotto in piccole quantità, dominato dal Sauvignon Blanc con il restante quarto di Sémillon; è fermentato in botte e invecchiato per creare un vino strutturato ed elegante. Anche le annate più recenti del Domaine de Chevalier Rouge attirano l'attenzione, e la loro qualità ha continuato a migliorare. Si tratta di un rosso sofisticato e generoso con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
