The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier is a magical wine in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild plums, crushed blackcurrants and violets mingled with hints of pencil shavings, subtle spices and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, with a vibrant core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and lively acids, it's exquisitely elegant and harmonious, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. Stylistically, this wine exhibits a much closer affinity with the great Domaine de Chevalier of yesteryear than much of what was produced here in the early 2000s. It's a masterclass in what contemporary Bordeaux can deliver, and worth a special effort to seek out.

The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier is pure, silky and exceptionally beautiful. The 2019 is all in reserve today. Sweet red berry fruit, mint, spice and blood orange lend brilliance to this understated, super-classy Pessac-Léognan red. Lifted floral aromatics and silky tannins grace this exquisite, wonderfully polished wine. Tasted two times. -- Antonio Galloni

Beautiful, ripe redcurrants, bay leaf, violets and raspberries on the nose. Full-bodied with firm and very tight tannins that are polished and layered. Crushed stones highlight the beautiful blue fruit. Poised and refined. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. Try after 2026.

Very lush and forward, with a lovely wave of warmed plum reduction, cassis and blackberry preserve flavors. Features a subtle rumble of dark earth and warm stone through the finish, where licorice and apple wood accents also peek in. Delivers spine for form, but this is going to provide its best showing in the medium-term, as the fruit is so precocious. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 10,000 cases made. — JM

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.
