Domaine de Chevalier Rouge 2023

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier has turned out beautifully in bottle, offering aromas of sweet cherries, dark wild berries, licorice, mulberries and peony. Medium- to full-bodied, it is rich yet supple, layered and textured, framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, precise and perfumed finish. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, it should gain an additional dimension of depth and complexity with time in the cellar.

Deep purple-hued, the 2023 Domaine De Chevalier is a rich, concentrated, classic Graves from this great estate. Smoky blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, damp earth, and graphite all shine on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with ample mid-palate depth, building tannins, and outstanding length. This aristocratic, classy, age-worthy Domaine de Chevalier deserves 3-5 years of bottle age and will cruise over the following 30 years or more. Drink 2028-2055.

James Suckling

The aromas of tobacco, thyme, black currant, and black berry with dark earth follow through to a medium body with creamy and polished tannins that caress your palate and deliver a beautiful young Pessac. So pretty and lively. 63% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. Better in a few years but already so beautiful and polished.
