Description

Domaine de Chevalier Rouge is a prestigious estate in the Pessac Leognan region. With a long history in Bordeaux dating back to the second half of the 19th century.

Since 1983, the Bernard Family under the care of Olivier Bernard has been runnning the winery

“Considerable efforts have been made since 1983… The vineyard, currently in full production, was appreciably expanded and all aspects of winegrowing were revisited. We cleared trees, constructed buildings, and reconfigured the vineyard. Nothing was left to chance… Even though the transition was smooth, the estate’s whole appearance, as well as its image, changed greatly.”

Tasting Notes

Grape Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot

Very floral and elegant with raspberry and blackcurrant fruit mixed with toasty oak/vanillin, followed by a medium to full-bodied, stylish, polished wine that is the quintessentially refined style of Pessac-Léognan. Nevertheless, the complexity and nuance has yet to fully emerge. This medium to full-bodied Domaine de Chevalier is poised for a bright future. It is tight and backward now, as well as restrained aromatically, but everything is there for the future. Forget it for 5-7 years and drink it over the following 30 years
