Tasting Notes

"As to the reds, the 2016 Domaine de Chevalier is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc that saw an extended maceration, malo in barrel, and 18 months in just 35% new French oak. This deep purple-hued beauty boasts a powerful bouquet of tobacco smoke, damp earth, gravelly, rocky minerality, wood smoke, and loads of dark fruits. Full-bodied, deep, concentrated yet incredibly elegant and seamless on the palate, it’s a legendary Chevalier in the making. While I rated this as high as 99 points on one of the four separate occasions I was able to taste it, I’m being conservative with the score. it has some upfront charm but needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for 3-4 decades."

The Producer

Domaine de Chevalier

There are many reasons that Bordeaux is the world's most famous wine region, but the most important is, they make fantastic wines and the whites are no exception. Bordeaux Blanc, when done well, epitomizes what most of us are looking for in a great bottle of wine.

The Domaine has a long history dating all the way back to the 1155 and continues to be family run estate, owned by the Bernard family. Located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation which ranked among the Crus Classés for red and white wine in the Classification of Graves, it's one of a very few Bordeaux estates to be named 'Domaine' instead of 'Château'.
