In a few words ...
Classified for its red and white wines, Domaine de Chevalier dates back to the 18th century. It is located on the outskirts of Bordeaux, on a terroir of fine gravel. J. Suckling: 95-96/100
A great red wine for ageing, vibrant and subtle.
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
