OWNER’S DESCRIPTION
A complex and spicy nose of great finesse. The blend’s expression is both pure and vibrant, showcasing a maturity that blossoms in freshness. Notes of humus and forest envelop the fruitiness. On the palate, immediate and silky fullness. A concentrated structure, elegant, of great refinement. Flavorful and intense radiance, from fruit to mineral. This wine, with its racey demeanor, is of high class. Very long, precise, pure, and fresh. Impeccable balance. A silky and charming style that will be appreciated in its youth 7-10 years, but aging will make it shine 12-20 years.

Wine Advocate 94-96/100 : “The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier reveals a perfumed, incipiently complex bouquet of dark wild berries, cassis, rose petals, spices and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and bright acids, it concludes with a long, saline, gently oak-inflected finish. This blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc is maturing in 40% new barrels”.

James Suckling 97-98/100 : “Plenty of blackberry, blackcurrant, chocolate and flint aromas that follow through to a full body, yet it’s in check and focused with a beautiful framing of fine tannins. The purity of ripe fruit is impressive with cabernet really showing through. 63% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc”.
