Tasting Notes

Cask sample. Buttery and creamy on the nose with a lovely flash of grassy herbs on the palate. Dry and appetising with fairly light body, finishing with perhaps a touch of vegetal character. (RH)

The 2020 Domaine de Chevalier is going to need a number of years to unwind. Rich, heady and super-concentrated, the 2020 is so impressive, right out of the gate. Crushed rocks, rose petal, cedar, pomegranate and mint all build as the 2020 shows off its vibrant, layered personality. Domaine de Chevalier remains one of the most under the radar wines in all of Bordeaux. The 2020 is an absolutely brilliant effort from Olivier Bernard and his team. Tasted two times.
Anticipated maturity: 2035-2055
