2024 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge

Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!

Stands out for its deep ruby red colour, soft grilled cedar and sandalwood aromatics, and its slow build through the palate, with juice and character, a ton of gorgeous slate and liquorice. Not at the peak of 2023 or 2022, but this has depth and balance, and estate character. Great job from the team at Domaine de Chevalier. Harvest 20 September to 8 October. 30% new oak for ageing, Olivier Bernard owner.

(Pessac-Léognan; 65% Cabernet Sauvignon; 30% Merlot; 5% Petit Verdot; an impressive final yield of 48 hl/ha; 12.5% alcohol, with 0.3 degrees of chaptalisation; tasted twice, first the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin). A lovely relaxed aromatic presence – lots of cedar, a touch of graphite and pencil shavings, damson, dark berry fruits and a little black cherry. I love the little floral note too – difficult to pinpoint, but it’s there. Peony is the closest, maybe lily of the valley too. There’s a characteristic glossiness to this that is oh so Domaine de Chevalier. Not the density of recent vintages, but a certain sense of poise and elegance. Nutty notes on the finish indicating ripe pips.

Deep garnet-purple in color. Pops from the glass with wonderfully fragrant notes of red roses, cardamom, and mossy tree bark, leading to a core of cassis and red currant jelly. The light-bodied palate is energetic and shimmery, delivering fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally.
