2019 Domaine de Chevalier Pessac-Leognan
£65.00
“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.”
97 Points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier has a precise and complex bouquet with blackberry, cedar and tobacco scents, quite Médoc-like in style. This is thoroughly engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, exquisitely integrated oak, fleshy and fine-boned with a precise finish. This is outstanding.”

Product Description
Domaine de Chevalier is part of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, ranked among the Crus Classés for red and white wine in the Classification of Graves wine of 1953 and 1959. The winery and vineyards are located south of the city of Bordeaux, in the commune of Léognan and is one of a very few Bordeaux estates to be named Domaine instead of Château.
The property was purchased by the Ricard family in 1865 and remained in their hands until it was bought by the Bernard family in 1983. They undertook a long term project to improve the quality which has resulted in considerable improvements in both the vineyard and the winery which is now very much in evidence with the quality of wines produced in recent vintages.
This Grand Vin rouge is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
